2¨ = Negative free bid: 5 or more diamonds, no
4-card ©-suit, 8-11 hcp.
Dbl = Support double, promising exactly 3 spades.
Rdb = Support redouble, promising exactly 3 diamonds.
3¨ = Kind of short suit game try.
3ª = Signoff.
The perfect defense: § to the ace, § ruffed, © to the ace, § ruffed, ¨K (demands West
to unblock or turn in his queen), ¨A, ruffed by North, who still has to lose a heart for down
2. Many Easts wil start ¨K, but that will lead to the same result, for West
has shown 3 diamonds by redoubling.

2© = Weak jump overcall: 6 or 7 hearts, 5-10 hcp. If East holds a 6-card suit, and EW
are vulnerable, East should have ©KQxxxx, ©AJTxxx, or better.
Dbl = Negative: 4-card ª-suit, or, 12 or more hcp, or, both.
3ª = NS should agree on playing this as invitational, so that South has the option of
passing with less than 8 hcp. North could cuebid 3© with more than 17 hcp, or just jump
to 4ª.
