Bidding : (W) 1♦ - 1♠ - 1NT - 2♠ - Pass !!!
Normally Responder (E), with only 6-10 points would pass after Opener's 1NT rebid (which shows 13-15 points). But when Responder is weak (6-10), unbalanced (having a singleton or void) and with a 5+card suit, Responder should rebid his long suit.
This is similar to a Rescue bid after a 1NT Opening bid. Opener should then pass !
Beginners course of May 2013 : ALL Responders made the correct rebid of 2♠ (well done!). But all Openers went on to raise Responder to 3♠, with the contract going down one.
