Problem E4806 After Opp's X on P's major opening, XX promises approx 10HCP and a 3 card fit.
With less than 11HCP and no fit
- Suit shift at the 2 level ; faibles et non forcing. In general they show a nice 6 carder
- 1NT with no biddable major and no fit : This weak bid ne does not guarrantee stoppers in the suits called for by the opps' double.
Reminder : A suit shift at the 1 level does not deny 11+HCP and is round forcing
