2§ = Fourth suit forcing.
2¨ = 5+ ¨-suit.
3¨ = Designating ¨ as trump suit, and forcing game, since he used 4th suit at his
second rebid.
3©, 3ª,
4§, 4©
and 4ª = First or second round controls in the
respective suits.
4NT = RKCB.
5© = 2 or 5 aces without the queen of trumps.
Even a ¨- lead and -return can't keep South
from ruffing 2 spades for his precious slam.

2ª = Muiderberg weak-2: 5-card
ª-suit, 4+ of a minor, 5-10 hcp.
3ª = Preemptive raise.
West's dbl = Responsive, since he is slightly too weak to bid 4© on his own, and he can't be too sure of East having
a 4-card ©-suit.

2ª = Muiderberg weak-2: 5-card
ª-suit, 4+ of a minor, 5-10 hcp.
3© = 5+ suit, 12-15 hcp.
It would be unwise to double on 4 trumps alone, but now there are very bright prospects of
making East lose control over the trump suit by forcing him te ruff in his hand.
