Contrary to popular belief, the correct rebid with
the West hand is 2. The primary purpose of
constructive bidding is to reach games or slams,
especially 3NT from the right side of the table.
Notice on today's example, 3NT is a much better
contract declared by East, with the lead coming
from the South hand.

Take away East's ace-queen of clubs, and even
a 2 contract in a 4-3 fit is better than 1NT.
Change the king-jack of hearts to the king-jack
of clubs in the West hand, and then a 1NT rebid
is preferable. Don't be a robot - judge your cards.
