East is stuck after 2§: 2ª would promise 8-11 hcp, his hand is a little bit too bad
for a preemptive jump to 4ª, and 3ª would show 5 or more spades and 12 or more hcp.

1© = South could bypass a 4-, 5- or 6-card ¨-suit. North must alert this Walsh approach.
3© = Invitational. North ignores his stiff king, but upgrades for his singleton.
