South's negative double promises a 4-card ª-suit, or 12+ hcp, or
both. North's hearts are not good enough to allow the double to stand for penalties.

1ª = If EW adhere to Walsh
approach, i.e., bypassing a 4-, 5- or 6-card ¨-suit, when West in not strong enough to
reverse, East should alert.
West is not strong enough to search for a ª-fit
with Checkback Stayman, so he must rebid 2ª, or confine with 1NT. We prefer the latter, since EW should have
enough hcp strength, and there is no guarantee, that 2ª
will bring in more tricks.

2¨ = Multi colored:
weak-2 in a major, or one of several types of strong hands.
2NT = Balanced, ©-stopper, 16-18 hcp.
South should play North for 16-17 hcp, and even when he comes up with 18, NS still have
only 24 hcp between them.
