Would 3♠ instead of 3N be taken as fourth suit, primarily looking for sure ♠ stop?

[Stephen Tu]

He's not really supposed to have to be in the position to worry about that, as a club rebid seems pretty clearcut.

Thanks for reporting.

 

Fixed in v31.

 

It won't take NT's calls without stopper.

 

Also explanation of NT's would deny 3- cards and would be 2- cards as with 3 cards GIB is going to bid it on first place.

 

Same if has to rebid opening minor. Still will deny 3 cards.

 

NT's explanation would also miss the phrase Invitational to 3NT. Neither 2NT would be strictly 14HCP but range 11-14.

 

So a hand like:

 

♠Q♥Jx♦Ax♣AJxxxxxx would open 1♣ , rebid 2♣ and over 2♦ would bid 3♣

 

and so a hand like:

 

♠J10x♥AJ♦Jx♣AJxxxx

 

while hand like:

 

♠Qxx♥Jx♦Ax♣AJxxxx would open 1♣, rebid 2♣ and over 2♦ would bid 2NT now.
