EW will reach 4ª only when East rejects the
Jacoby transfer to 2©, by bidding 2ª. If he doesn't, the bidding goes:

North |

South |
| --- |

2© |

| 3NT |

pass, |
|
since East has no evidence of a 3-card ª-suit
in West's hand. East lucks out, because NS have to duck the second round of clubs to
maintain communication. That brings East's total to nine.
More analysis to follow.

2© = Muiderberg weak-2: 5-card
©-suit, 4+ of a minor, and 5-10 hcp.
Dbl = North is too strong for an initial overcall of 3¨,
the cuebid of 3© is used as Michaels,
and 4¨ shows diamonds and spades, the so-called
World Convention.
2NT = 3ª is invitational allright, but promises
a 5+ suit. South is too strong to respond 2ª,
and not strong enough to cue, so he starts with 2NT, balanced with 8-10 hcp, and intends
to show his 4-card ª-suit later, if he is
forced to bid again.
More analysis to follow.
