No. And 1D can have other meanings than negative. In wj2005 these are: 1. 0-8 (not 7-8 with 4 card major) 2. 9-11 unbalanced with minor(s) 3. 12-16 balanced (to play nt from partner's hand)

These methods seem very interesting, but there are still some things I'd like to know: a) what does a transfer to opponent's suit show? :P does opener always have to accept the transfer? If not what does breaking a transfer mean? c) what's the subsequent auction after accepted/broken transfer Thx

Lately I've seen such a sequence on vugraph: OPENER [space] LHO [space] RESPONDER 1[cl] [space] [space] [space]1[di] [space] [space] [space]1[he] 1♥ alerted as showing spade suit. I tried to google for this convention but no success. Can anyone explain this treatment (transfer bids after opponent's overcall) in detail or give an appropriate link?
