Richard Hills:

With my regular partner 2S would also be forcing for one round.  This
I believe is a more effective agreement than the more common one to
play a change of suit by advancer as "constructive" (not a game-invite
- unless overcaller has a good fit - but neither a drop-dead potential
yarborough).

But since I did not footnote 2S, blmlers can assume that North-South
are playing the common but ineffective agreement.

Of course, the theoretically best agreement is to adopt the Rubensohl
convention, transfer responses by advancer.  In my youth I was a
Rubensohler, but abandoned this "best" agreement after a few too many
"worst" results caused by pard or myself forgetting the convention.
