Kokish Relay -
An refinement to opener's responses after a strong 2C opener. A rebid
of 2H by opener after two clubs and responder's 2D waiting bid

allowing opener to provide a further description:
| |
2C - 2D;
2H - 2S; |
The 2H - 2S bidding is an
artificial forcing sequence, with the following opener rebids: |
| 1. |
2C - 2D;
2H - 2S;
2N |
An extra strong balanced
hand, usually 25+ points (too strong for a traditional 2 Notrump rebid). |

2/3x |
Shows Hearts -- some play a
2H
followed by 3H rebid as invitational while others play a jump 3H after responder's
2D
is invitational (slow shows, fast denies). |
