  • Bridge Bidding Systems for Finding Major Suit Fits Pete Matthews – December 27, 2010
    Bridge Bidding Systems for Finding Major Suit Fits Pete Matthews – December 27, 2010 This article outlines and compares bridge bidding systems for finding both 4-4 and 5-3 major suit fits, when the opening bid is one of a minor suit. Short club systems attempt to locate the fits at the one level. Fourth bid systems are the more usual approach – the search begins in earnest with responder's second bid. Finally, I conclude with comparisons of features and methods. A. Short Club Systems The systems in this part take advantage of the extra bidding space when 1♣ is opened. When playing them, it makes sense to require a four or five card suit to open 1♦, to increase the frequency and value of the 1♣ opening. Because these systems do not operate over other openings, 1♦ in particular, you will need other methods for those cases. 1. Montreal Relay The basic Montreal Relay system attempts to find both 4-4 and 5-3 major suit fits at the one level. The 1♥ or 1♠ opening promises a suit of at least 5 cards. The 1♦ opening guarantees four cards (some play five), so 1♣ becomes a catch-all opening bid. Over 1♣, a response of 1♥ or 1♠ promises five cards. A 1♦ response may be used with natural diamonds, but opener assumes this is a waiting bid with one or both 4-card majors. Opener must rebid a 4-card major (1♥ with both) over the 1♦ response. The full system includes invitational suit bids at the 2-level and forcing suit bids at the 3-level, all showing major suits.

S promised opening points, so partner has up to 6 S – KQ102 HCP. Since E has clubs controlled, he should win the H-A and H – J108 continue trumps. D – 4 C – AQ1032 Declarer Plan (Defense in italics): S – J973 S – A8 Analyze the lead & think about distribution: The lead is from any H – 654 H – A7 number of trumps D – AJ103 D – 98765 C – 87 C – J965 Count Losers: Losers are 2 spades, 1 heart and 2 diamonds S – 654 Note: To count the losers as declarer, decide which hand we are going to set up and count as losers, all the cards that are not high, or H – KQ932 are not covered by high cards in partner’s hand. Therefore Axx D – KQ2 opposite a singleton starts off as 2 losers, if we are counting losers C – K4 from the hand with Axx or no losers if counting from the hand with the singleton. Trumping the small cards in the dummy is part of the plan. West North East South If we don’t start off counting those losers, we might forget to include 1C Pass 1H that ruff in the timing. Pass 1S Pass 2D Pass 2H Pass 4H Make a plan before playing to the first card from dummy : We Pass Pass Pass need to get rid of 2 of our losers. We can discard 1 on the C-Q, and another on the fifth club, if the suit divides no worse than 4- The Bidding: 2.

Gerry Radway, Margie Spence and their committee put together a wonderful event. The Valley Forge regional was smaller than we had hoped for, but has a great new venue. The Dolce Valley Forge and its staff were very accommodating. As Carole King once said, I felt the earth move under my feet. Tuesday’s earthquake was a bit scary for those of us who had never experienced one before, but the bridge went on. Continuing with the 70’s music theme, Gloria Gaynor wrote “I will survive”. Unfortunately, the tournament didn’t survive Hurricane Irene. Out of an abundance of caution, the District 4 Board voted to cancel Saturday night and Sunday bridge sessions based on information available at the time. I look forward to seeing you all in Lancaster.

  • Responder's Strategy
    RESPONDER’S STRATEGY Suit Quality Test for Responder Just as the Suit Quality Test is useful for overcalls, pre-empts and opener's rebid, so it can be used for responses and responder's rebids. WEST EAST Responder's immediate jump to game 1 4 should be based on a hand with seven WEST EAST playing tricks, about 6-9 HCP and a 7+ suit 1 4 which has a Suit Quality of 10+ Beware of the 1 : 4 sequence if you are using that as a splinter raise of spades. With a single-suiter (6+ suit) and 10 HCP or more, prefer to start with a simple change-of-suit response. WEST EAST Jump-rebid your suit to the three-level 1 1 with 10-12 points and a suit quality below 1 3 10. WEST EAST Jump-rebid to game in your major with 10- 1 1 12 points and a suit quality of 10+. 1 4 W E EAST (1) EAST (2) 1 1 K Q 8 6 5 3 K Q J 10 5 3 2 ? A 6 2 A 6 2 8 2 J 2 Q 7 6 3 With (1), rebid 3 . The suit quality of the spades is only 8. With (2), you have a suit quality 10 and should therefore rebid with a jump to 4 . Once you hit 13 HCP or more with a strong single suiter, your rebid will depend on whether opener made a narrow range rebid (e.g., rebid of suit opened) or with a wide-range rebid (change of suit).
