A new crazy idea

[PrecisionL]

I currently use tranfer responses over a Precision 2♣ opening...

 

Some authorities don't allow the transfer (ACBL).

Under the GCC, you can play any conventional responses you want to a two level opening (like Precision 2♣), as long as the opening is not "weak".

As discussed in previous posts, I have an e-mail from ACBL stating that transfer responses to a Precision 2♣ opening is not GCC.

 

Perhaps if I ask again, I might get a different ruling?

When asking a question of the ACBL, first frame the question with a quote from the GCC etc., and then ask it, such as:

 

The GCC says: "7. ARTIFICIAL AND CONVENTIONAL CALLS after strong (15+ HCP), forcing opening bids and after opening bids of two clubs or higher."

 

Thus, according to the GCC, we can play transfers over our 2♣ 11-15 natural opening.  Is that correct, or if not, why not?

Csaba and I played the system in Brasov.

 

We were both quite happy with it. Not that we had any system gains that I noticed (other than once when opps screwed up after Csaba raised my 1♥ opening to 3♣ which he wouldn't have found in most other systems) but not system losses either I think.

One thing that I didn't expect to be a problem but does in fact cause some headaches:

 

1♣-1♦, 1NT is 15-17

so

1♣-1♦, 1♥ must show some balanced 18 counts.

so you'll 2nd negative on almost all 5 counts and indeed some 6 counts.

 

That makes that range quite big... The natural 1♣-1♦, 1♥-1♠, 1NT range is 19-21 but it just can't seem to be doable here.
