Exit Transfers with extra bits, a little bit of Aardvark and Helmic in certain positions ! |
So, if you are ready to try the full system after 1NT (Double)...
OR if responder bids 2¨, shows 3 suited hand, short in § (5440 shape or 4441 shape)
OR if responder bids 2©, shows both majors with longer © than ª, 45xx style
OR if responder bids 2©, shows both majors with longer ª than ©, 54xx style
-
2¨ = Transfer to 2© (long Hearts) - simple !
-
2© = Transfer to 2ª (long Spades) - simple !
-
2ª = Two suits 5/5, Spades and another
- 2NT = Two suits 5/5 but NOT not Spades.
Responder can pass this (to play 1NT redoubled!)
Or if responder bids 2§, shows Clubs and another suit (4 /4 );
Or if responder bids 2¨, shows Diamonds and either Major (4 /4 );
Or if responder bids 2©, shows both Majors, equal length (4 /4 );
Note that after :
1NT (Pass) Pass (Double)
Pass (Pass) [here…]
Halmic now still applies
-
Pass is now to play 1NT doubled !
-
2§ = Clubs and another suit (4 /4 );
-
2¨ = Diamonds and either Major (4 /4 );
-
2© = Both Majors, equal length (4 /4 );
-
2 = 5/5, Spades & another;
-
2NT = 5/5 not Spades
The whole basis of this system is Pass or Correct style. It is designed to get out of 1NT doubled into a safe place to play where the opponents may not be able to double you or double you into a making game !
.
Remember, it's all about bidding with SHAPE and few points - with lots of points get to play in 1NT redoubled if you can.

If you take this up you will do well. I play it; ask me anytime - Barry :-) |
