rogerclee Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 4♦, majors. I'll back in with 5♥ and hope that this is a reasonable description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Easy answer 1: 4♥. Easy answer 2: 5NT More complicated one: pass + bid later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgr Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 http://www.worldconvention.org/ ? Seems like correct translation of Dutch "wereldconventie" is Leaping Michaels (not sure if that is also used for both majors). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 4♥ Where I want to be, if partner has one more spade than hearts. And often where I want to be if he has two more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 http://www.worldconvention.org/ ? Seems like correct translation of Dutch "wereldconventie" is Leaping Michaels (not sure if that is also used for both majors).The story goes that a certain Dutch top player (I don't remember who) was introduced to Leaping Michaels. He exclaimed: "That's a fantastic convention!", but obviously he said these words in Dutch: "Wat een wereldconventie!". (In a word to word translation this would mean: "What a world convention!".) Ever since, the Dutch (and Flemish) have used the term "wereldconventie" to describe Leaping Michaels and non Leaping Michaels. (Regular Michaels is still called Michaels.)
