Some Problems from the GNTs '01

All at IMPs, long matches except for #4, which is IMPs, 10-board matches, VPs.
  1. none vul, you hold

    1C: 1H:
    2D: ?

    Methods:
    2H: = 5+ hearts, forcing 1 round unlimited, could be weak
    2S: = lebensohl
    3D: = natural, forcing

  2. none vul

    3NT ?

    2NT was natural and forcing, 12-15, did not deny a 4-card major. The rest of the bidding is natural.

  4. unfavorable

    ?

    2S: was Michaels.
    4C: was fitted, clubs and spades.

    What's your plan? Do you agree with your bidding so far?
