asked and knows of five+ spades in the West hand. 

With a 5:3:3:2 shape East’s re-bid is no trumps. \n
With 13HCP East forces a game choice by jumping to 3NT. 

West now chooses no trumps by passing. (If West had held three/four spades,
would raise in spades.)

{With 11HCP and no four-card major, South uses a McKendrick enquiry 2\S (should
be alerted) to ask whether North has 14HCP.

The response of 3\C is positive. North has 14HCP. 

South’s raise to 3NT shows this was a strength enquiry and not a transfer to a
minor.

This time it's the wrong 25HCP, N/S will be lucky to make nine tricks.

{

With two five-card majors East initially shows the spades by transfer (should
be announced), and then re-bids the hearts at the four level.

This bidding eliminates 3NT, and forces West to choose a major contract.

With three hearts, East opts for hearts.

It plays well and should make twelve tricks.
