Trial bids (3) If the fit in a major suite have been reached at the level of 2 hearts/spades or T the bids at level 3 behind the 3 in the fit's suite will ask support in that suite. Ex: 1h-2h-3c asks for support in clubs to reach the game. We also play singleton trials if we pass trough the first possible bid after 2h o 2s and the first bid asks. Ex 1h-2h-2s-2nt-3d is looking for points not in the diamond suit. Splinter (4) double jump bid after a bid of a major at level 1 means singleton or void in that suite and fit in the major. fter the opening of 1c/d and the response in a major the jump at the 4 th level is void in that suit if the opener could have been bid it at 3 rd level over is opening suit. Ex: 1c-1s-3d is singleton and 1c- 1s-4d is void while 1d-1h-4c can be singleton or void. Multirever (5) fter the opening in a minor the second bid of the opener if it's the lower rever possible bid can be natural or hp with only the opening suit. Ex: 1c-1h-2d can be or 5+c and 4+d hp or only diamonds with hp. 4NT RKCB (6) sks about aces and king of trump= 5c: 0/3; 5d:1/4; 5h: 2/5 no queen; 5s: 2/5 with the queen. fter the RKCB the first bid asks for the queen if the answer was 5c/5d and the partners bids 5 in the fit's suite he hasn't the queen on the opposite if he bids his kings in control style at level 5 or 6 he has the queen. If there is an overcall= dbl: even and pass: odd (aces). When fit is in clubs 5c and 5d are inverted. Lebenshol (T) (7) The partner must bid 3c: 1NT-2x-T: no stop; 1NT-2x-3x: stayman no stop; 1NT-2x-2nt-p-3c-3x: stayman with stop; 1NT- 2x-2nt-p-3c-p-T: stop; 1NT-2x-2nt-p-3c-p-p or 3x: weak with that suit; 1NT-2x-3y: forcing. fter opponents' opening of weak two's: 2x-dbl-p-2nt-p-3x/y: strong; 2x-dbl-p-2nt-p-3c: weak; 2x-dbl-p-2nt-p-3c-p-p or 3y: weak; 2x-dbl-p- 3y:inv. Texas (8) fter the 1nt opening and the transfer in a major, the opener declares 2nt if he has max with Hxx, 3 in

20 the major with 4/5 cards and another suit with the max with fit and hp in that suit. fter the transfer in a minor the first possible bid is honour(s) in the minor suit.
