she asks with 2. Opener rebids 2 = 12-14 balanced, 2 = 12-14 club suit, 2NT = 15-16 balanced, 3 = 15-16 clubs. Similarly with a sequence starting 1 - 1, opener rebids: 1NT = 12-16, balanced, or four spades. (2 from partner finds out which, as well as the strength range.) 2/ = 12-16, four-card suit 2 = 12-16, six-card or longer suit 2NT = 17-18 balanced 3 any = 17+ natural If responder wishes to know further about the 1NT bid, she asks with 2. Opener rebids 2 = 12-14 balanced, 2 = 12-14 spade suit, 2 = 15-16 spade suit, 2NT = 15-16 balanced. Note that if responder and opener both have four spades, they can still play in 2 in spite of the artificial response. Bridge conventions
