Thanks for the prompt reply Douglas. It was indeed social/kitchen bridge so no issues ! I have printed off page 1 of the flow chart. Thanks Paul

What is the correct protocol in the event of an opponent making an erroneous bid which is below the previous current bid? e.g. Say North opening bid 1S, East Pass, South bids 1H (presumably by mistake) What should West do ? May / Must North point out his partner’s error ? How is it rectified? I hope that makes sense ! Thanks Paul

Thanks TT. Believe it or not...I actually have Rod Klingers book ! We bought it years ago (recommenced by our tutor). Just dug it out and indeed chapter 7 “Weak Twos & Other Pre-Empts” Well well.

Thanks again. I also have located the relevant website. Billyjef...thanks also for the matrix

Thanks all. I will search your the book / magazine Winston. Am I being presumptive to ask whether you have an electronic copy of your article ? ( happy to give you my email ) I’m in the UK

We (me and “she who must be obeyed”) play primarily social bridge (rubber and Chicago). We use the LTC and are comfortable with it. Whilst we have been playing for several years, we would consider our standard to be somewhere between beginner-intermediate. We are currently ‘studying’ the weak two openings (2D 2H 2S) and can see, and like, the advantages of using same. Is it viable to use the LTC alongside this opening ? I am thinking that if responder (to a weak two opening) has at least 2 cards in the opening suit, we have a fit. Dare responder count losers and respond accordingly ? It is assumed that the weak two opener will have 8 losers. I hope that makes sense !
