Playing three No-Trump: Answers to the questions that you certainly ask yourself at some point
We have mentioned the fundamental principles concerning the search for the stoppers that are necessary in order to play 3NT. This article will allow us to deepen your knowledge by giving you the answers to some questions that are admittedly a little more marginal but often worrying.
Question 1: Do you need a double stopper to overcall in No-trump behind a preempt?
No, certainly not, because otherwise we would deprive ourselves of an essential natural intervention. Given that the player who opens with a preemptive bid should have a decent suit, the probability of holding a double stopper is actually low. What is more, he should not have many outside entries to his hand. As a result, it should be easy to neutralize his suit by a hold up play.

The bidding teaching, examples and explanations were all good. But I found the play explanations confusing, insufficient detail on the rationale for the line taken. It probably was not helped by them being in French (google translate is not great).
Please give an English explanation
Reading on my iPad many words are split with unexpected space, such as “seem pro missing”. Need to improve editing and testing before publishing.
The explanations and exercises were very well done and are extremely helpful to me.
