(105)  More on Fits:  4th Suit Forcing in Depth

We round out our discussion of finding fit with Responder by looking at Responder's tool for finding fits (forcing the auction) after the Opener has shown an Unbalanced Hand - 4th Suit Game Forcing!   We will see its traditional use of looking for a 5-3 fit for game, as well as using it to allow us to explore for slam.
