Normally it should be 1.  but if opener bids again, he has an unusual hand

in some way. Hard to tell in which way it is unusual other than he thinks 
sacrificing is cheaper than -620.  If they buy the contract, I would lead
a 
diamond in this auction.   With my luck, solo flights like that always
cost. 
Some depends on partner****p style on weak twos.
