an opening hand or 7-card ¨-suit. West must alert.

2¨ = Multi-colored: weak-2 in a major, or one of several
types of strong hands.
Dbl = For takeout. If East has 12-15 hcp, he must have at least one 4-card major.
2© = Signoff opposite weak-2 in a major.
3¨ = Semiforcing in ¨.
3© = 4+ ©-suit, forcing to game.
4© = Prepared to play the 4-3 fit. If East hesitates and then bids 3NT, NS should retain
their rights, for such pause of thought highly suggest a 3-card ©-suit.
