1¨ = Virtually denies 4-card majors in Walsh Approach. Needs alert.
1© = Avoiding complications that may arise after jump in NT, since we have no unbid minor
left for New Minor Forcing.
3¨ = 6+ suit, 10-11 hcp.

Pass = In 1st and
2nd chair we open 11 hcp hands only when we have 6-card suit or 5431 or better shape.
2ª = Muiderberg weak-2: 5-card ª-suit, 4+ of a minor, 5-10 hcp.
2NT = Forcing relay.
3¨ = 4+ suit.
Note that 6¨ is a reasonable contract, when South happens to have ¨Kxxx, and almost
cold, when he brings *Kxxxx.
