1NT = Balanced hand, ª-stopper, 15-17 hcp.
2ª = 3+ ª-support, 6-9 hcp. If West has a weaker hand, he has distributional
compensation.
Note that 3¨ would be short suit trial, not long suit
trial.
Result freaks will add another convention to their card in order to stay out of game next
time:

2NT = Balanced hand, good 17+ hcp, asking West to show singleton or void.
3¨ = Shortness in diamonds.
3ª = Asking West to pass with (sub-) minimum.
Nest time however, spades break 2-2, or North holds ªJ, and game is frigid.

3§ = 4+ §-suit, 5 to a bad 6 hcp, allowing West to pass with a minimum, or, for
example, show his 3-card ª-support with maximum.
We prefer New Minor Forcing to Checkback Stayman over
jump rebids in Notrump.
