| Liams Hints Of WIsdom ............... |
♠ Liam, who taught many of us to play bridge will share some hints and tips here which he hopes you will enjoy ♥
2/1 players can get in a mess with the forcing NT but with this gadget there's no need - just invert your spade and NT responses over 1H so 1S shows no more than 4 (can be fewer) while 1NT shows 5 plus spades. This provides an extra layer of bidding, facilitates a weekness take out and allows you to play in 1nT, 1H - 1S, 1NT by opener shows 4 spades and is nonforcing. And its fun!
A True rarity A bid you so seldom see that you’ve forgotten you may have read about it ages ago. 5NT is the creature; not the asking for Kings application and not the Grand Slam Force (bid 7 if you have two of the top 3 honours) aka Josephine. Imagine you asked P for Aces with 4NT and to your dismay he/she failed to give you what was needed. Now you are stuck in playing 5NT with two top losers but how do you get there? Bidding it would be a King ask which you can’t do and you know the opps are licking their lips, realising that a wheel has come off. Here’s a hand from last night: N held AKQ105, AKQ8, AJ95, void S held 8, J3, KQ842, KJ843 and it went 2C – 3D 3S – 4C 4NT 5C ?? The solution was at hand: a bid of the unbid major requires P to go 5NT, so 5H 5NT Pass. Say what you like about the auction but the participants had the thrill of a once in a lifetime opportunity to use a true rarity.
