2§ = One of several types of strong hands.
2¨ = Relay. A positive suit
response requires at least KQxxx or AJTxx, and, 8+ hcp.
3¨ = 5+ ¨-suit, and, 23+ hcp or at least 9½ playing tricks.
3ª = Natural, could be a 4-card suit.
3NT = Showing a minimum hand for his bidding so far, allowing South to pass if he does not
have slam interest.
4¨ = Slamtry, designating diamonds as trumps for the time being.
4© = North shows a ©-control in order to transfer control of the auction to South.
4NT = RKCB for diamonds.
5§ = (1 or) 4 out of 5 aces, 1403-variation.
5© = Asking for queen of ¨ and other features.
5ª = ¨Q plus ªK, or, ¨Q plus §K and ©K, a smart variation of Jan
Jansma and Rob van Wel.
6¨ = South can count only 11 tricks, and 6¨ gives better prospects for the 12th than
6NT.
