Much easier for respondents if displayed in the format below (and takes less
room, also!) Just a polite suggestion... <smile>
IMPs, vul. vs. non-vul.
KJxx AQx
AKxx xx
AQxx KJ10x
Q KJxx
1D 2D (inverted - linit raise or better)
2H* 2S* *extra values
3S 3N
Pass
Opener has only shown slight extras so far (the 3S bid being a game force).
Opener should bid 4NT, a quantitative invitation to 6NT (or 6D).
