Scoring: IMP


1D-2C
2D-?

2C was forced by system. 2D was nonforcing, showing an unbalanced 12-14.

What system forced me to bid 2C rather than 1N?

Kaplan-Sheinwold:

1NT opening is 12-14
1NT response to 1m is 5-8 (to play opposite a strong NT)
2NT response to 1m is GF

Kaplan-Sheinwold:

So, if you also play K-S style sound minor openings, I think a game try is mandatory (hopefully I can bid 2N, natural).
Opposite my partners' typical openings, I am happy to play 2♦, however.
