ANSWER: Bid two clubs. You are strong enough to double raise the spades, but cannot afford to do so with only three-card sup- port for spades. You must there- fore temporise in the hope that you can find out more about your partner's distribution.
Score 100% for two clubs, 50% for three spades, 20% for three clubs.
