- Jordan/Truscott 2NT
- We play a transfer structure after 1M - (X) from 1N (showing clubs) upwards, so: 1M - (X) - 2M-1 as 3+ 1M - (X) - 2M purely pre-emptive 1M - (X) - 2N as 4+
- direct seat overcalls 1NT
- Over 1m - (1NT) we play Asptro: 2♣: ♥ and another, 2♦ ♠ and another Natural after 1M - (1NT)
- Convention Analysis
- My intention with this was to produce something that allows a player to analyse where their convention produces gains and where it doesn't, you could argue this might just be results merchanting, but I think it could produce some useful information. Granted, there are numerous complexities where inferences are ...
- Convention Analysis

I could quite easily implement functionality to generate hands and maybe add the ability to add parameters to measure the frequency ...

- Jon Derrick's bidding problem: J AJ2 9852 A8542
- 2♦ is just Kokish. I've taken this hand from a Camrose match that was on Vugraph, so it's the player's methods so I'm not 100% sure. Speaking in terms of my partnership, we generally bid 2♦ waiting on all negatives/semi-positives. I think control ...
- Rowland Reeves's bidding problem: JT42 AKQ7 9 A976
- 3♥ as an artificial general slam try in ♠
- Jon Derrick's bidding problem: KT763 QJT853 --- K8
- Yes - although it feels wrong to do so I prefer to bid hands of this shape and 6M/4 other by starting with 2 of the 6cM. Although we've discussed this a few times, it seems to be something we disagree upon when it comes to bidding them at ...
