Dbl = His side will end up playing 2§ in a 4-2 fit once in a while, but North can't
afford to give up on the ©-fit with a hand like this.

3© = East must jump with 14 good hcp or more, for 2© is non-forcing,

initially.

1ª = Alertable if EW adhere to Walsh approach,
in which case East could bypass a 4-, 5- or 6-card ¨-suit, when he is not strong enough
to reverse.
1NT = The rare case one makes a first rebid in NT with a singleton.
