  1. Difficult for EW. X instead of 2S is probably better, South will then bid hearts and West can compete in diamonds.

    1. It is more difficult that that I think. Say it goes:

      1NT X 2H ?

      Now west with 9 points and a six card suit will want to bid game. So competing with 3D would not be enough.

    2. True, probably 3H (bid 3NT if u have a heart stop). Thereafter if pard doesn't have a heart stop things get murky.
