I'm a Dutch junior player, currently national youth champions thanks to our wonderful team. I like strange conventions and artificial systems. With my regular partner I picked up an American relay system known as Transfer Oriented Symmetric Relay Precision.

Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Don't torture yourself
- With my regular partner, pass in his seat means he has no ♥ problem. Redouble with me would mean i have doubt in ♠. I don't have any ♠ problem so I pass.
- Your verdict
- I'm just going to play advocate of the devil here. South bid 3♣ with the meaning of a game try in ♦, at that moment he should have alerted per WBF rules. Although 3♣ is natural according to their methods S did not know that at that ...
- Declarer with an accent 3

- Partner has a monster hand, if you bid 5♦/5♠ you will get doubled and make 11 tricks. Partner has: xxx AKQJxx x xxx
- weirdest Conventions and Treatments
- In the Netherlands we call it a Belgian q-bid.
- weirdest Conventions and Treatments
- The weirdest convention I can think of is an invention of two of my regular Junior teammates. It mainly consists of a 10-17 NT opening, any position any vulnerability. We've changed the responses from Stayman to our own versions. This method is able to produce the most random results ...
- Active Ethics- is it 'natural'?
- Nick, I never used the word cheating because I don't think it's cheating. But I do feel it's unethical. Your partner obviously still has the chance to bid 4NT but you put the partnership in an awkward spot. The fact that the main reason is that partner ...
