In the newcomer games, you will probably see only Standard American and/or the popular two- over-one game forcing system: Any two-level response to an opening bid at the one level is forcing to game. For example: 1♠ - Pass – 2♦. This column will focus on Standard American, which features five-card major openings and 15-17 high-card points for a 1NT opener. In your study of conventions, don’t limit yourself to what you plan to play. Familiarity with what the opponents may come up with against can only be helpful. Here are my top two essential bidding tools. Stayman: This convention was invented by George Rapee but popularized by Sam Stayman, Jacoby Transfers: If you are not using this If responder has six or more of a major and hence the name. Stayman is a bid of 2♣ after convention, you will have problems with certain 10 or more HCP, he transfers and bids game in the partner opens 1NT. The bid indicates nothing about types of hands. It’s easy to use: after partner opens major. The 1NT opener will have at least two of clubs but shows at least 8 HCP (some prefer 9) 1NT, a bid of 2♦ shows at least five hearts; 2♥ responder’s major, so the eight-card fit is assured. and is asking opener if she has a four-card major. shows at least five spades. Opener must accept the If you do not use Jacoby Transfers, you will be With no four-card major, opener bids 2♦, another transfer, after which responder’s intentions will in a quandary with five of a major and 8-9 HCP. If artificial bid. become clear. you bid two of the major, which is to play (“drop With both majors, opener bids hearts first, With fewer than 8 HCP, responder will pass. dead” in bridge parlance), opener will pass (you which allows responder to bid 2♠ to show an With 8-9 HCP, responder can bid 2NT, inviting could have a really bad hand) and you could miss invitational hand with four spades. Opener’s game with five of his major, or he can bid three of game when partner has 16 or 17 HCP and a fit for choices: Pass with four spades but a minimum the major with six or more to invite game in the your suit. 1NT opener; bid game in spades with a maximum; suit. Bidding three of the major is forcing to game, sign off in 2NT without four spades or bid 3NT With game-going points (10+) and five of the and it won’t be fun if opener has a minimum 1NT with enough strength to accept the invitation.

Clement face Uli in our last Swiss round today, and while Clement will likely end up first in the Swiss, Uli and the teams ranked 4-8 cannot afford too big a loss since Seligman in 9th is 11 VP's behind Uli in third, closely followed by Skeidar and France Sud.
