helene_t Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 GIB doesn't play drury. This raises the issue how forcing a 2/1 by a passed hand is. I just defended against GIB making 2♦+4 after this auction:pass-1♠2♣-2♦pass Opener had 18 HCPs so apparently it thought 2♦ was forcing. I think it should be, even in Acol 2♦ is forcing nowadays, and presumably a passed-hand 2/1 promises more in the GIB system than in Acol. A similar issue is how forcing a 2-level freebid is. I saw this auction:1♠-(2♣)-2♦-(pass)2♥-a.p. I would think that a 2-level freebid should at least be forcing to 2 of opener's first suit. But maybe this 2♥ bid is intentionally defined as NF?

georgi Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 After passed hand 2minor natural maxhand call, but none-forcing bid, opener's bids below rebidded opening (likely 2♦/2♥ if opening spades ) are limited 12-15TP. I.e. P - P - 1♠ - P2♣ - P - 2♦ - New suit -- 4+ ♦; 5+ ♠; 11+ HCP; 12-15 total points Bidding this with 18HCP should be a bug in previous version and fixed in v26(current one).

Stephen Tu Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 This is horrible. Opener has to jump because holding 16 HCP? Now he can no longer show 5-5s below 3nt. We want you to fix responder passing new suit by opener, not make opener jump to make responder bid again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
