2© = Jacoby transfer,
promising 5+ ª-suit.
NS has the same problem West had on board 1 of April 17: he can't use the Stayman
relay and Jacoby transfer at the same time, so the
5-3 ©-fit will remain undiscovered.
More analysis to follow.

South's pass = downgrading for 4333-shape.
1§ = Because of the 4333-pattern, this is even
in third chair a minimum 1-opening.
1¨ = Walsh approach:
virtually denying 4-card major. North must alert.
2NT = Still holding back for his 4333-distribution.

2ª = Fourth suit forcing.
3© = 6+ suit and 12+ hcp, since North would
have made an invitational jump rebid of 3© over
2§, with only 10-11 hcp.
3NT = Giving North the option of avoiding 4© in
the 6-1 fit.
North yields because of his moderate ©-suit,
and the hcp strength he has to spare.

Owing to his large number of winners in the side suits, North could still have made 10
tricks, if he guessed right in diamonds. 3NT, 5¨,
and even 6¨ play a lot easier, of course.
More analysis to follow.
