I think this has to be forcing, too bad if opener has a minimum but it is more important to be able to bid the better hands. Maybe it would make sense to play some kind of Woolf here.

this sould be nonforcing because both could not force (1NT and 2♥) but since both show a hand that sees chances for game (2NT and 3♠ instead of 2♠on the previous round) it should not be passed

Forcing for me - showing a good hand 6-4 in the majors.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I'm sure that "old-fashioned" standard says to rebid 2♠ with a 6-4 minimum, and thus this sequence would be forcing.

However, nowadays I think most people rebid 2♥ with almost all 6♠-4♥ opening bids, in order to find a possible heart fit. In this style, it makes sense to play 3♠ as non-forcing. There are many ways to force game in this auction, for example three of either minor would seem to be a game force (so could bid longer minor with 64xx) and opener can always bid 4♠ with partner's hand reasonably well described.

No, 2N was not forcing.

NF, invitational 6-4(5)
Hasn't opener limited their hand with 2♥?

a simple rebid shows somewhere between 11 and 18 hcp.

In order to make this NF you would have to have 3 of a minor be artificial. It just doesn't seem worth it to me. Forcing is much more playable and what I think should be assumed. After all if you are very minimum and your spades are so good that you're sure you can play there opposite a singleton, those are the hands that would rebid 2♠ instead of 2♥ imo.

It is clearly better to play 3C as a relay imo, and I do in a couple of partnerships, but barring that 3S is forcing

I like the support, but it's because of what I actually said. The part where you put ... is important! It's like the movie reviews that are quoted as "....action-packed joy ride..." when the full review was "This movie makes me want to take an action-packed joy ride to the bathroom and vomit."

That is a very good question.

My normal agreement is that 3Major over 2NT is forcing and 3minor is non-forcing.

Here if 1NT is standard non-forcing then there is a strong case for 3♠ to be non-forcing.

If 1NT is forcing and hence 2NT invitational then I think 3♠ needs to be forcing.

If 1NT is 6-9 NF, what is 2NT?

Elianna and I play it as 5-5 or more in the minors, but I'd be surprised if this was standard.

It was forcing - I'm pretty sure that a 6-9 hcp hand can't rebid 2NT here.
