2© = Muiderberg weak-2:
5-card ©-suit, 4 or more cards in a minor, and
5-10 hcp.
3§ = 5 or more clubs, 12-15 hcp.
3¨ = Signoff. South is almost certain of the ¨-fit, and he wants to play it right there. With more
strength, he could take lots of actions, ranging from cuebidding to doubling for
penalties.
More analysis to follow.

2ª = Transfer to 3§.
2NT = Maximum hand with good §-fit.
3¨ = 1st or 2nd round control of ¨, since trump suit has been established by 2NT.
3© = 1st or 2nd round control of ©.
3ª = 1st or 2nd round control of ª.
4© = Repeating ©-control, therefore promising 1st round control, i.e. the ace, and
denying control of diamonds.
4NT = Roman KeyCard Blackwood.
5¨ = 0 or 3 out of 5 aces, for we play 1403-variation.
6§ = With South denying control of diamonds,
there is no way for North to avoid a loser in that suit. Hopefully, he will not lose more
than one ¨-trick.
