Opening 2 ♥ : 10-13 HCP ≈ 6% apertures
5♥-4+m + shortage or 6+♥, denies 4♠
2♠ = asks for the minor.
2NT = 6+♥ (6-3-2-2,6-3-3-1,6-4-2-1 or 7+) but not 6-4m-3-0
3♣ = RELAY .
3♦ = 6♥-4m then 3♥ RELAY:
→ 3♠ = 6♥-4♦-2-1 → 3NT = 6♥-4♣-2-1
3♥ = single-suiter 6♥ mini.
3♠ = single-suiter 6+♥ maxi with a shortage.
→ 3NT = shortage?
3NT = one-suiter 6+♥-2-2-2, max.
3♥ = to play.
3♠ = 5 + ♠. Forcing.
3♣ = 5♥-4+♣ or 6♥-4♣-3-0
3♦ = RELAY . Research TRIPLETON .
3♥ = 5+♥-4+♣-3♦ (major shortage) **
3♠ = 5+♥-4+♣-3♠ (minor shortage) **
3NT = 5♥-5♣+-2-1. (No tripleton and not 6♥ )
3♥,4♣ = invitational.
3 ♠ = 5+ ♠. Ambitions, otherwise we relay.
3♦ = 5♥-4♦ or 6 ♥-4♦-3-0
3♥ = RELAY . Research TRIPLETON .
3♠ = 5♥-4♦-3+♣ or 6♥-4♦-3♣-0 (major shortage) **
3NT = 5♥-4♦-3♠-1 (minor shortage)
4♣ = 6♥-4♦- 3♠-0 (6th ♥ is bidden at 4th level).
3♠ = 5+ ♠. Ambitions, otherwise we relay.
3♥ = 5♥-5♦-3♣-0. → 4♣ = ♦ raise mini or ♥ raise ambitions + control.
3♠ = 5♥-5♦-3♠-0. → 4♦ = Min. → 4♥ = max.
3NT = 5♥-5+♦-2-1. → 4♦ = TURBO
4m = 6♥(correct suit)-5m.
2NT = 5+ ♠ , invitational.
3♣ = 4+♣ , 0-2 ♠
3♦ = 4+♦ , 0-2 ♠
3♥ = 6+♥ .
3♠ = 3 cards mini.
4♠ = 3 cards maxi.
3♣, 3♦ = 6+ cards. Forcing.

4m = SPLINTER.
And now how to bid a slam ?
When the distribution of the opener is unspecified, the 4 Minor fit is not forcing.
When the distribution of the opener is specified, bidding four in a minor where opener promises 3+ cards is TURBO. Bidding the suit where opener shows a
shortage is an artificial slam try in the opener's major.
