straube Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 You are South and dealer. Imps. All white. East bids 2D if available. This is an old Meckwell deal.

rbforster Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Silent Club: 1♣-1N-(2♦) strong; GF majors; naturalP-X relay ask; longer hearts2♥-3♦ ask; 45314♣-4♦ RKC♠; 1/46♠ Interference at or below 2♦ by 4th hand can be relayed over with little cost if one is so inclined. Here we end up on the +0 track since their bid stole only 2 steps and those come back with P and X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siegmund Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 In Unassuming Club, 1C-1H (two-way / natural positive) (2D)2S-3S (strong, 5+ spades / natural)and a keycard auction is the fast path to 6S. I always bid a 5-card spade suit before a 6-card minor in Standard or 2/1, too, but I realize many people playing a system with the same name would start with 3C ... though if it went 3C-3S-4NT you'd get there just as fast. I am surprised by North's 3NT bid in the posted Meckwell auction - which appears to be the culprit for missing the spade fit and slam.

straube Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 IMPrecision shouldn't have a difficulty with the posted deal. Would this rearrangement pose more of a challenge?[hv=pc=n&s=s9haq942dacakq862&w=skqthj763dj92ct94&n=sj8753hkt85dkq3cj&e=sa642hdt87654c753]399|300[/hv] I think for me it would start... 1C-1H (2D)3C-3N Now can opener force with 4H or more important, learn that partner has Kxxx? Responder could temporize with 1C-1H (2D)3C-3D which would locate the heart fit but endplay opener with A Ax xxx AKQxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 In all these sequences I'd be bidding 4M over 3N rather than 4♣ and expect it to show 6-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straube Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 In all these sequences I'd be bidding 4M over 3N rather than 4♣ and expect it to show 6-5. But is 4M forcing? Does it show extra and will responder know that his Kxxx is enough for slam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhare Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 TOSR: 1♣ - 1♥ (16+; 4+ ♠, GF)(2♦) - 2♠ (interference, breaking relays; natural, agreeing ♠)(RKC etc.) - 6♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 But is 4M forcing? Does it show extra and will responder know that his Kxxx is enough for slam? I think it must do, I've got enough to cover a misfit if partner has a minimum GF 5251/6151. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
