Editing Stayman convention (section)

==Forcing and non-forcing Stayman==
If Jacoby transfers are not played, there are two approaches to resolve the situation when responder has a 5-card major but only invitational values. In one, more common, referred to as ''non-forcing Stayman'', in the sequence:
:1NT &ndash; 2{{Clubs}}; 2{{Diams}} &ndash; 2{{Spades}}
responder's simple rebid of a major suit is invitational, showing 8-9 points and a 5-card spade suit. In the ''forcing Stayman'' variant, the bid is one-round forcing.

In the original [[Precision Club]] system, forcing and non-forcing Stayman are differentiated in the start: 2{{Clubs}} by responder shows only invitational values (and the continuation is the same as in basic Stayman), while 2{{Diams}} is forcing to game (responder bids 2NT without majors).
