obviously we do not know the Meckwell agreements in place to handle 2♦ Multi. That is not to imply they are "standard"

Meckstroth never bids his games so I believe it.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I feel like the most likely explanation is that Eric opened 2♦ with the given hand, as I believe meckwell played a weak-only 2♦ multi years ago. Maybe the point was someone psyched 2♠ and they still got to 4♠ and then the play was cool because the opps misdefended or the ♣A was onside or RHO didn't have a ♥ honor or something.

With the defense I use against Multi, it does not quality for a "better Multi" call.

Expect 2♠ was 5 and 0+ points, and 3♠ was 6 and 5 + points.

Maybe we are supposed to jump to 4♥ so LHO with a good hand and 3-3 majors bids 4♠ expecting his partner to have spades. But I'd want better spades for that since I may have to play 4♠ if it goes wrong. Ideally partner would have passed already as well.

Agree, this is a nonsense.

After <2D!> 2S <3C> ??
Isn't any bid weak? So Pass meant good 14+ giving partner a chance to come out?
