ADVANTAGES OF INT (12-14) OPENING

• IT STOPS OPPONENTS FROM BIDDING• OPPONENTS WILL HAVE TO BID AT 2-LEVEL

(WITH 12 HCP & 6 CARDER) OR DOUBLE (15 + HCP) OR EVEN PASS (with 14 HCP)

• YOU OFTEN GET 12-14 HCP IN ANY SINGLE SESSION

• VERY POPULAR IN THE UK. MOST PEOPLE PLAY !!


DISADVANTAGES OF INT (12-14) OPENING

• IT IS A VERY WEAK OPENING (ONLY 12-14 HCP)

• IF YOUR PARTNER IS WEAK (LESS THAN 7 HCP) YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO MAKE 4 TRICKS – 3 DOWN (WHICH CAN BE VERY COSTLY)

• YOU CAN MISS 3-5 FIT IN MAJOR CONTRACT IF YOUR PARTNER HAS 5 AND YOU HAVE 3 CARDS IN THE SAME SUIT (E.G. SPADES/HEARTS)


WHAT ARE TRANSFERS?

• IT TELLS YOUR PARTNER YOU HOLD THE SUIT RANKED ABOVE THE ONE YOU HAVE BID

• THE CONVENTIONAL METHOD IS AS FOLLOWS:2D SHOWS HEARTS2H SHOWS SPADES2S SHOWS CLUBS 2NT SHOWS DIAMONDS


WHEN SHOULD YOU USE A TRANSFER?

• WHENEVER YOU HAVE A 5-CARD (OR LONGER) MAJOR SUIT OR

• WHENEVER YOU HAVE A 6 CARD (OR LONGER) MINOR SUIT

• NO OTHER REQUIREMENTS• YOU CAN MAKE THE SAME BID WITH 3

POINTS AND WITH 20 POINTS


WHY ARE TRANSFERS USEFUL?

• THE STRONG HAND (INT) IS CONCEALED FROM THE OPPONENTS AS OPENING BIDDER BECOMES DECLARER & WEAK HAND IS ON VIEW IN DUMMY

• THE OPENING LEAD COMES UP TO THE STRONG HAND AND DECLARER WILL OFTEN GAIN AN EXTRA TRICK AS A RESULT


HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO A TRANSFER?

• COMPLETE THE TRANSFER – BID WHAT YOUR PARTNER HAS ASKED YOU TO BID BUT WITH ONE EXCEPTION:

• YOU HAVE 4 OF THE PARTNER’S SUIT AND HAVE A MAXIMUM 14 HCP JUMP TO 3-LEVEL


WHAT HAPPENS AFTER PARTNER COMPLETES YOUR TRANSFER?

• CONTINUE TO BID YOUR HAND NATURALLY• WITH A WEAK HAND, YOU PASS.• WITH A BALANCED/WEAK HAND, BID 2NT/3NT

AND IF PARTNER HAS 3-CARD, PARTNER WILL BID AT 3/4 LEVEL.

• YOU MUST NOT REBID YOUR FIVE-CARD SUIT• WITH A STRONG HAND (LESS THAN 17 POINTS)

BID NATURALLY AND REACH GAME CONTRACT • WITH A STRONG HAND (MORE THAN 18 POINTS)

BID 4C TO ASK FOR ACES
