  • Transfers Responses to NT Opening Bids
    Auckland Bridge Club Improvers Sessions Transfers Responses to NT Opening Bids Basic responses 2. Stayman, asking partner to bid a 4 card major or 2♦ without one. 2 Promises at least five hearts and orders partner to bid 2. 2 Promises at least five spades and orders partner to bid 2. The use of 2 There are several different meanings that players use for 2 and 2NT in and 2NT response to partner’s 1NT opening. In Modern Acol the meanings are as follows: 2 Either a raise to 2NT without a 4-card major, usually 11-12 points. Or a strong hand with at least game forcing values, looking for the best game or slam, say 18 or more points. Usually the hand will have no 5-card suit. It asks opener a question. Are you a minimum? If so bid 2NT. Or are you a maximum, in which case bid your lowest 4-card suit. 2NT Since hands that would have bid 2NT now bid 2, we now have a bid without a meaning. So we use it as a transfer to a minor. You need a weak 6-card minor suit (either clubs or diamonds). It tells Opener to bid 3. which you pass if clubs is your suit or you bid 3 if you have diamonds. Then he will pass. Responder’s second bid after making a transfer response Bid Auction goes 1NT - 2 - 2 Typical hand Pass My 2 transfer was a weak take-out in spades.

  • Acol Bidding Notes
    SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION The following notes are designed to help your understanding of the Acol system of bidding and should be used in conjunction with Crib Sheets 1 to 5 and the Glossary of Terms The crib sheets summarise the bidding in tabular form, whereas these notes provide a fuller explanation of the reasons for making particular bids and bidding strategy. These notes consist of a number of short chapters that have been structured in a logical order to build on the things learnt in the earlier chapters. However, each chapter can be viewed as a mini-lesson on a specific area which can be read in isolation rather than trying to absorb too much information in one go. It should be noted that there is not a single set of definitive Acol ‘rules’. The modern Acol bidding style has developed over the years and different bridge experts recommend slightly different variations based on their personal preferences and playing experience. These notes are based on the methods described in the book The Right Way to Play Bridge by Paul Mendelson, which is available at all good bookshops (and some rubbish ones as well). They feature a ‘Weak No Trump’ throughout and ‘Strong Two’ openings. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ INDEX Section 1 Introduction Chapter 1 Bidding objectives & scoring Chapter 2 Evaluating the strength of your hand Chapter 3 Evaluating the shape of your hand . Section 2 Balanced Hands Chapter 21 1NT opening bid & No Trumps responses Chapter 22 1NT opening bid & suit responses Chapter 23 Opening bids with stronger balanced hands Chapter 24 Supporting responder’s major suit Chapter 25 2NT opening bid & responses Chapter 26 2 Clubs opening bid & responses Chapter 27 No Trumps responses after an opening suit bid Chapter 28 Summary of bidding with Balanced Hands .

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification.

It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.
