Gino's Suggestion and a Short Explanation
Discuss with partner whether in 2/1 opener's rebid of the opening major suit shows 6+ cards or possibly 5 cards as a default bid.
Option A - Rebid of spades shows 6+ cards
1♠-2♣
2♠-4♠
Pass
Option A is simple. E/W finds the 6-2 spades fit immediately, as the 2S rebid guarantees 6+ cards.
Option B - Rebid of spades does not necessarily show 6+ cards
1♠-2♣
2♠-3♣
3♥-3♠
4♠-Pass
This advanced option (B) complicates things. The partnership finds the 6-2 spades fit when responder makes a preference 3♠ bid, showing a doubleton (having denied 3 cards). Note in option B opener's rebid of 3♥ showing a heart stopper (third suit bid), asking for a diamond stopper. In option B, opener could also rebid spades again, now showing 6+ cards.
