- Super-accepting after 1NT opener
- 1N - 2R: 2M+1 (same as 2R+2) : Max, 4-card support, either a trick source in oM or no trick source 3M: Min. 4-card support Else: Max. 4-card support, trick source here Retransfers for all of the above 3M-1: does not exist so we can always retransfer 1N - 2♦ ...
- Chris Derrick's bidding problem: 8 96 QJ762 AQT63
- Thanks all. This was actually a UI situation, as I thought, PASS is not a clear LA!
- GF relays in Transfer Walsh
- 1) Never played a relay here but after 1♣ - 1♠ - 2♣, 2M is GF semi-natural (and FG hands having gone through 1♠ are similar to Frances's above) 1♣ - 1♠, 2♦ plus are all artificial 2) 1♣ - 1R - 1M has a variety ...
- Another 1!h-1!s question
- 2N F1 relay, 2♠ invitational 6♠.
- Alan Shillitoe's bidding problem: JT763 K9 K7642 6

- Bidding systems without forcing opening bid
- We play a system where no opening bid is forcing, I guess you'd define them as semi-forcing. Yet to have a major problem. There is a fair amount of kit to stop us getting too high. 2♣-2♠ are pre-emptive, 2N: 21-23 bal. 3N: Good 4M opening.
- Responder's rebids after 2N and a red suit transfer
- Depends. If 2N - 3R - 3M shows a fit (and therefore 3R was FG), I play new suit as a shortage. If 2N - 3R - 3M is practically forced, then Frances's suggestion
- Chris Derrick's bidding problem: A9xxxx Ax AQTxx ---
- Maybe the blurb is not clear enough. You have not agreed explicitly this is a FP auction (3rd time this partnership has played), but you're pretty sure partner knows it should be.
- Alan Shillitoe's bidding problem: 4 Q4 Q52 KJ98654
- North defended 4♥
