It seems the explanations of reverse 2 are correct,but Gib E don't tell me how many cards in ,Usually reverse 2 means Gib have 4-card and values in it.
For this hand,Gib E reverse bid 2 only with two card,it is a short suit,and must be alerted.but Gib E never do.
So I think reverse 2 with two card is a psyche bid,even a cheating bid.Posted Image

2S is exactly what it says on the tin. Shows a stopper. I guess it didn't bid 2H since Kxx is positional. I think it should just be natural myself, but it's been like that for ages, presumably due to the walsh-style*

* even if it doesn't play true walsh.

Also, 2N has exactly the same description as 1N. Does it not show or deny anything?

Valid point, certainly 2NT must show a H stopper.

Actually it's exactly the opposite. You need 2M to be natural playing Walsh, because over 1C-1D opener will bypass a 4 card Major to bid 1NT. GIB will bid a major over 1C-1D with a balanced hand, so it makes sense in non-Walsh style that 2S does not promise length.

On the actual hand it is an excellent attempt at lead-inhibiting.

Fixed in next v33 to show the stopper in unbid major.

So 2NT would be -> -- 3-5 ; 2-3 ; 2-3 ; 2-3 ; 12-14 HCP; stop in

Will be addressed if responder's 2M should be certain stopper or Qxx,Kx,Jxxx+ as good enough.
