gwnn Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yes it does unless it's not the last syllable. This rule is confusing me but I will get used to it. Dutch orthography is less convoluted than this system anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerben42 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 As I am getting a zillion requests: http://www.geocities.ws/gerben42/Dutch%20Doubleton%20Jansma.pdf I got it from the internet at some point but the link has died so I am just reposting it.

Cthulhu D Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Cheers, very useful. Don't speak dutch but everything is nicely layed out so you can pretty much work it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So I am learning some Italian vocabulary to understand Bocchi-Duboin system and now I need add Dutch to it :)Thanks Gerben42, this is awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonylee Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks, for me the last language I was trying to decipher was Polish (using my little knowledge of Russian) but Dutch (based on my barely less little knowledge of German) looks so easier :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I also mentioned the pair in the German open team who play a Polish club variant (Baltic Club),in which the 2♣ opener is reserved for a weak 2-suiter (♥+another), so they must also handle the hands which would open 2♣ in other PC variants within the 1♣ opener. I guess, they do so similar as bluecalm described... Note that in Baltic Club, 1♦ can be up to 21 points with a 2-suiter, and 1M up to 18 HCP, so their 1♣ is just a bit less overloaded than in the original post here.
