Placing the Contract After Opener Shows a Two-suiter by Matthias Huberschwiller

In this quiz, your partner will have opened a suit, you will have responded at the 1-level, and partner will have shown a two-suited hand, or bid a second suit at the 1-level.

It's up to you to place the contract, or further describe your hand if you can't decide on your own.

What will you do?

1♥	Pass	2♣	Pass
?

A: 2♠ - You have enough for game, but you're not ready to decide which one to play in, since you don't know if you need to play in Hearts or in No-trump.

You have to bid the fourth suit. It is called Fourth-suit Forcing. It says you have points, but you need partner to further describe his hand to be able to choose the right game (or slam).
