2N protects my Kx in Clubs (which is the marked lead if I reverse)
Mark me down for 2♠ however, I don't have a strong objection to 2N

I wouldn't fault anybody for preferring 2S if that's their style.

Right game, right sided may matter but probably not. I'm into making sure that any slam is declared from my side.
If we get some quantitative 4nt thing going, I can leap to 6 diamonds with this.
Of course if pard has AJ in both round suits, I've just wrong sided it but it won't be the first time, or the second or.......

1♦:1♥
1♠:2♣*
2♣ forces 2♦ which partner can pass, so now I am forced to bid 3N.
No big problem, I'm happy to bid 2n or 2♠ with this hand. I like 2♠
Are there any more catches to xyz ?

Disagree with gwnn's comment, 1D, 1S and then 2NT is not enough. I might bid that with a 4252 16-count.
Jilly, it's called 2-way checkback (although in this auction it is often called xyz). 2-way gametries is something else.

Thanks, it is XYZ, I've corrected that now. My other questions are about 2-way gametries which I will post in a seperate thread.
