Bbradley62 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 With GIB v29, the 8421 method of identifying honors in cuebidding sequences has been replaced by something else. Can you please document this new method? In the hand below, the 3♦ bid is explained as showing ♦KQ. Does it mean KQ or A? What do other combinations mean?

Antrax Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I think it's the same method but a more human-friendly explanation. You can understand what's going on by converting it to 8421 in your head. In your example, GIB wanted to say 6+ in 8421 and holds 8. I've already posted in the feedback thread about how I think this does more harm than good, currently. It should at least say something like "A or KQ or better".

barmar Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 There's an implicit "or better" in all these explanations. Saying that would make for long explanations, but maybe we could add "+". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antrax Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is it obvious that an Ace is better than KQJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
