2¨ = Multi-colored, based on a semiforcing in diamonds (semiforcing
means 5+ suit, 20-22 hcp, or 8-9 playing tricks).
2© = Signoff to weak-2 in hearts, maybe invitational to weak-2 in
spades.
3¨ = Announcing semiforcing in diamonds. South may pass now without hope for game.
3ª = 4+ suit, 5+ hcp, forcing game.

1¨ = Unsuited for preemptive 3¨-opening, first of all because East holds 4-card
major, and secondly because East has 11 very sound hcp.
2© = 5+ suit, 8-11 hcp, the negative free bid.
Dbl = 3-card ª-support, 6+
hcp.
4© = Bid what you expect to make. Slam is out of reach, unless West has a maximum, extra
length in hearts and 2 aces. In that case, he will certainly give it a try.

1§ = Downgrading for 3433-pattern.
1© = Alertable, since North may bypass a 4+ ¨-suit in Walsh Approach.
If South opens 1NT, the train may not stop short of 6©, which makes only when West
underleads his ¨K.
