ANSWER: Bid three diamonds. You have already shown willing- ness to play no-trump, so there is no point in rebidding no-trump; your partner can do that just us well as you. Choosing between your partner's suits allows him to two- go on with a real minor Suiter, or to raise no-trump or support spades if he has a hand of more general strength.
