The squeeze play allow to avoid finesse or is used when there is ambiguity about position. I don't want to guess (i. e. see 9 in heart suit that can be in W or in E).

At this point you discover to have three finesse to consider with a good probability to get wrong. But there is a way to avoid it at all(=no finesse) squeezing E (in three suits too) and controlling discard also in unilaterals: win with ♥ K rescoiting the Aces and returning in dummy to run club suit. You realize by heart discarting or if in heart suit are three cards(=9 in W or E) in E or if the remaining King discarted makes winner the corrispondent Queen.

About 6NT Fluffy says that is possible to realize. Than lacking informations points usually are 50-50(=6-6) or 60-40(=7-5) and four points are revealed.Now it needs to think that if ♥ are 3-3 the 9 is dropped and ♥ 8 is the 12th trick but what if it is not ?

If W wins in heart it seems obviuos doesn't have to lead spade or diamond.

The initial play has to be in heart suit.

Perhaps i don't understand what is the problem but if you want i can put it(=IMP) online as i did for Bridge d'italia Online (magazine on italian forum) it being that on Chrome you can choise to translate in your language.

When, in first round, starts the conventionated bidding you must have almost in one of the two suits so indicated an Ace or a King. As first opp is also to consider your favoureble position about top honors and conv. can be used when you are the second opp (i.e. 2♣ - p - 2♦ - X=the second opp shows ♦+♠ suits). I want remember what told for original Astro: "The Astro bidder (Intervenor) promises [almost] nine cards in two suits. The high card points should be mainly in the two suits and should be stronger if vulnerable. The high card points are a matter of partnership agreement, although it is imperative that the held (working) values be mainly in the two suits indicated. The recommended values lies within the range of a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 14 points. The general guideline is that the Astro bidder hold at least two of the top five honors."

At this stage - first application of a new subject - you can think to insert restriction of any type (i.e. shape :5-5 instead 5-4 and/or vulnerabity: white and/or points :10/+) remembering that when you analyzed hands let try to find "rules" if to apply or not by-passed hands also when you are red (if it is possible).

For what has been told till now we can say that: the hands at second level are ruled as in Astro bidding mechanism; at third level are one-suiter hands with 6/+cards weak or the hands more strong that cannot bid directly at fourth level lacking any condition (to rebid then); directly at fourth level as indicated in post #48 (or equivalent shape) with a solid long suit. You can also gain if, not winning bidding, the other line remain off a better contract or them don't double.

Neither bidding nor vulnerability is known for it. After 7♦, West defending with 7♥ takes South to 7NT instead double (factible on ♥ K lead).

Infact in Astro Defense Method is used it and i thought can be a mistake (="intervenor" instead of "interventor") - The Astro bidder (Intervenor) promises nine cards in two suits -

You are of a winner more than me restricted. Although if opp cannot bid slam but only game partner surely will have one or two cards covering losers.

Than you are saying to reserve the 4th level for hands having : 1)a long suit (7/+) plus a suit with four cards for 7/8 winners or 2) a one-suiter hand (8/+) for 9 winners? It can be. About the word "intervenor" i think it is a term indicating the bidder starting convention.

The aim because i address at URL in post#24, is where you can see and have already the schemes and reponses of convention that acts in the same way as Astro that is very duttile and ,combining those, are covered many bidding situations. Than if you like or think is better you can change but probably have to remanage anything.

It is right what you say because indetermination for second unspecified suit in original "Astro" whilest in my variation vs 2♣ all couple of suits are known (in second round for 2♠ ambiguous) as you can see in my post #25. Than talking about two suits is better use term "Higher Suit (i.e.♦)" and "Lower Suit(i.e.♣)" (for ranking).

Anyhow is at this Higher Suit ( termed "anchor suit" or not) which we refer when bidding the new suit at level (6th/+) are denieing support whilest jumping we show a suit of six cards (or more) plus support (in this Higher Suit - i.e. Diamond for ♦+♣ responding at 2NT by partner).

Because in mine variation of Astro i' m useing the same terms you have to see in "Responses Summarized" (here "After 2♣ Hearts is the anchor suit and a new suit p.. "and here "After a 2♦ by intervenor showing Spades as the anchor suit, this fir..") cliking on url in post #24.

This conv. very good structured has a lot of options covering shapes (expecially if you have a long suit). The "anchor suit" is the higher suit in the couple indicated by partner conventionally (i.e. over 2NT is diamond suit).

Thanks, it seems Pinpoint Astro with ♠+♣ or ♥+♦ (and 2NT relay over pass) for 2♠ ambiguous (see also post #25) and ♦ + ♠ for 2♦

Infact i wonder myself for your answer. Now when i say "this part" the meaning is that this conventionated bidding (in my case with Astro) at second level can have a different agreement for another different convention (as for you with CRASH or Truscott or i.e. Cappelletti) by anyone other player.

Exactly so. This conv. can be used also vs strong 1NT with about 14/15+HD.

This conv. (I thought was italian by the name "Astro" that instead is an acronim) and has also a good structure (more of using for).

Hi. This part, infact, can be different for other players (as in your first post here).
