croydonman Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Playing standard French 5 card majors (not too different from SAYC), mypartner would like to make 1C forcing; if partner has 0-5, he bids 1D (wouldhave been ideal for a 20pt hand with six clubs and a singleton heart that Ihad the other day). Obviously this introduces a few knock-on effects and Iwondered if anybody can point me in the direction of an 'official'discussion of this methodology if one exists.

Gerben47 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 A good treatment is Dutch Doubleton. In this system 1C can be 2 cards and includes ANY 18-20 balanced and weak NT hands with 4432 exactly. See for example this convention card: http://www.xs4all.nl/~riewald/pdf/systeemk...b-Paulissen.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
