Dbl = For takeout, similar to 4ª-pass-pass-dbl.
4NT would show ¨ and §, rather than ¨ and ©.
It is hard to predict, that a trump lead will set 4ª
by 2 tricks, and 5¨ can be beaten right off the
top, as well. In such cases, it is usually wise to try to take the opponents beyond their
level of making.

3NT = Replacement of natural opening preempts of 4§ and 4¨, since we use 4§
and 4¨ to show solid 8-card ©- and ª-suits,
with no aces or kings alongside.
Dbl = For takeout.
Rdb = SOS, asking West to bid his suit. East should only pass,
when he has solid grounds to expect West to make 3NT. If East responds 4§ or 4¨ to
3NT, he has some interest in slam.

2© = North must downgrade for his
QJ-doubleton, so a strong takeout double is out of the question.
