is this forcing in sayc ?

[catatonic]

partner opens 1 of suit , you change suit at 1 level , partner rebids 1 NT

 

is 3 of his suit forcing or invitational , or does it depend what suit it was ?

 

eg 1♣ 1♠

1NT 3♣

Jumps in previously bid suits are generally invitational; responder bids new minor if he wants to create a forcing auction.

Hi,

 

Inv., but highly depend on systemic agreements.

 

With kind regards

NMF forcing not mentioned in the SAYC booklet.

 

I have always assumed it is an add-on.

NMF is not part of SAYC.

depends on agreement

Good question.

 

The current edition (2001) of The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge has this to say:

 

Jump rebid by responder - These are jump bids short of game by responder at his second turn. The meanings of such bids vary widely. In traditional Standard American all such jump bids were considered forcing, whether or not responder rebids his own suit, supports partner's suit or names a new suit. In the modern style, all such secondary jumps are non-forcing unless they are in a new suit. Some players treat some as forcing and some as non-forcing. Partnership discussion is essential.

This one's on my short list for partnership discussion.
