Relay Days Are Over
===================

Gone: no rigid shape-showing, no artificial suit-setting/asking, no splinter in known suits.

Weak NT bids 2S then 3C (so, still 'two-step' but responder grabs NT).

Responder can relay after compound responses but opener rebids naturally.

Majors rebid 2H and responder continues as before, except no prohibition on 3NT after relay.

Opener's rebids of 2NT and above show extras

Initial responses deny extra shape with extra strength.
