dburn Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Do they have system notes? They do, and I have a copy of them. Is there anything in particular you would like to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yes, I'd like to know how they handle 2-over-1 auctions. What's forcing and what isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dburn Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yes, I'd like to know how they handle 2-over-1 auctions. What's forcing and what isn't.2/1 auctions are forcing to game, with the exception of auctions beginning 1M-2♣. This shows either a limit raise of the major (usually with three-card support) or a game force with clubs. Opener rebids his major with four cards and a minimum (thus either a canapé opening or a weak no trump), bids 2♦ with five of his major and a hand unsuitable for any other call, or makes a call above two of his major to show various above-minimum openings with five cards in the major or with 17-19 balanced. This two-way 2♣ response is not a new idea, but it took me and the Hacketts some time to work out a way of playing it in their four-card major structure. So far, it has earned its keep.
