Had this today
W N E S
1D P 2C P
2N P 3C P
3N P 4D P
P P
W,N,S were beginner and E was advance
Question is the 4D just rebidding West first bid or was he asking aces or slam or something else? East left after this bid so was not able to ask. I was not West.

Thanks

It's whatever you've agreed it is, but one thing I do know is that it's forcing. You don't remove 3N to 4m non forcing in auctions like this.

I'd suggest it's a good 3 card diamond holding and putting diamonds in the frame for a slam, but may depend on system being played.

Bridge logic says that 4 must be forcing (whatever else it means). East can not know that 3NT is not making and 4 will score better - which would be the only conceivable reason for taking out a game into a part-score. As to what it does mean, that rather depends on what the rest of the auction has shown. In many natural systems, both players have limited their hands - West by the 2NT rebid, East by the 3 rebid. In such a case, 4 probably means that East has misbid - either on this round or a previous one! However, if the auction was GF by agreement (eg because 2 response is played as GF bid, or the 2NT rebid shows extras), then I imagine East is showing 3 card support and some sort of slam potential.
