In the game of bridge, we are required to disclose the agreements on our bidding and defense playing. What will happen if this requirement is removed, such that the game is played with secret agreements that we don't need to disclose the meaning of our bids and defense playing to the opponents? I think it will be more interesting as without disclosure, the bidding systems will be designed in a way such that the communication can be done without opponents' guessing the meaning, while disrupting their bidding as possible. Also, it will be harder to deduce the opponent's holdings from the bidding, when all the meanings are kept secret, so you need to use your own communications, and make a guess on their biddings.

Can't hurt to play a couple rounds of diamonds to see if there is ♦J109 in one hand in which case you can pitch 2 spades.

The third option (described a previosu post), caters for this layout with a self-kibitzing declarer. .

If you want to play without agreements in bidding or defense play in an Individual. If you only want to play without agreements in defense play with the robots. If you want to play with someone whose bidding and signals make no sense at all contact me.

I'll say that a bid is natural is it suggests the denomination to be played. For example, a 3NT bid based on a solid long suit can be said as natural because it is intended to be played.
