latest Moscito semipositives?

Just found this at http://www.jackbridge.com/eindex.htm

 

I assume it's Martston's latest 1C responses. What surprises me is how many two-way responses he has. If the SPs are designed to cope with competition, doesn't the 2-way aspect take away from that advantage?

 

 

1C = 15+ HCP

Responding to 1C

 

1D = gameforcing (QP=6+, might be QP=5 with lots of distribution); not 5440

1H = semi positive (QP=3-5); balanced OR unbalanced without fivecard major OR any 4441 (not a onesuiter diamonds)

1S = negative (QP=0-2)

1NT = semi positive; 5+ hearts with a minor OR a onesuiter diamonds OR any 5440 with fivecard major

2C = semi positive; 5+ spades with a minor OR a onesuiter hearts

2D = semi positive; 5+ spades and four hearts OR a onesuiter spades

2H = semi positive; 5+ hearts and four spades

2S= semi positive; 5+ hearts and 5+ spades

2NT = gameforcing; any 5440 with a void in a major

3C = gameforcing; solid sevencard in unknown suit

3D = gameforcing; any 5440 with void diamonds

3H= gameforcing; 4=4=5=0

3S = gameforcing; 4=5=4=0

3NT = gameforcing; 5=4=4=0

After 1 opener can start a relay sequence with 1 to reveal responders hand. With a relative weak hand (QP=9-11) opener should generally describe his own hand (1 up).

I believe this structure is the one described in the MOSCITO 2005 booklet, so not really up to date...
