The Declarer announces "Trull." P2, wanting to respond as strongly as possible right away, says "Subkontra," skipping straight past kontra and rekontra.
Is this a legal call?

Answer
No. Each level answers the one directly before it: kontra doubles an announcement, rekontra answers a kontra, and subkontra answers a rekontra. P2 must kontra first, which also declares P2 against the Declarer’s side in the same move; jumping straight to subkontra skips two required rungs and is not a legal call.
