Explanations |
(1) North has a game-going hand but a marked Diamond weakness, so proceeds via Stayman.
|
(2) South denies a 4-card Major.
|
(3) 3♣ now shows Clubs but expresses concern about one of the other 3 suits, asking South to bid stops upwards.
|
(4) South shows his Heart stop, thereby denying a Diamond stop.
|
(5) North now jumps to 5♣ knowing that 3NT is not going to make.
|
(6) South knows this is a sign-off rather than an invitation to slam. |
