    After 2 passes you open this promising hand 1 ♥ and your partner responds 1 ♠.

    You make a SPLINTER 4 ♦ , your partner shows the AS of heart by making a cue-bid 4 ♥ and you wisely conclude at 4 ♠. The opponent begins clover and made two lifted.

    OK...

    Let us now see both sets of your side and the sequence STANDARD.

    A priori no problem in the auction. And yet ...

    If the partner is lower, can no slam but by naming the singleton you showed the weakness of your hand in the last remaining color.

     

    Put Ace double tile and singleton ♣ in hand EST. This time the slam is unstoppable. The strength of this new hand compared to the initial hand is that it has the first-round control in the last color. This is exactly the same with the ace of clover and dual singleton ♦ .

    In the MOST SECURE, there is a way to differentiate the two types of hands.


    Direct-PIECE IDB     shows a singleton + color opening of at least 3 and 5 honors key cards at least one of ARD color opening, the ARD was and AS of the residue (this is the case the new hand). It is easy to declare the slam when the respondent has the two missing keys.

    The GAZZILLI 2 ♣ will be followed by a SPLINTER 4 ♦ on positive response 2 ♦ (7+ H). The respondent is then warned of the lack of keys or the poor quality of the main color.

    The GAZZILLI 2 ♣ will be followed by a conclusion about a negative response of respondent (max 6H). The opponent will then be more difficult to find good start, finding the opener from an area of 4 hand with or without singleton.

    How best to deal with these hands when you need to open 1 ♠ (you do not have 2 strong in your system).

    The problem arises here with 20 H, but would arise anyway with 2 points less because you'd then have to open 1 ♠.

    On the 1NT response you have not satisfactorily asks playing standard.

     

    3 ♠ is impossible with such a hollow color. The auction is also limited to 18 H.

    2NT shows 18-19 H is a least bad choice. But the 6th spades gives added value to the hand that is not indicated here. Moreover a weak partner with 5 hearts will be a difficult decision. It should be remembered that on 2NT, auctions of 3 ♣ 3 ♦ and 3 ♥ are not forcing, while 3 ♠ is forcing with 5 cards heart.

     

    Now let the sequence MOST SECURE:

    2 ♣ = Too hard to 2x but not strong enough or structured to 2NT or 3x.

    3 ♦ = max 6H, 6+ cards with a short in spades.

    3NT = In pairs can pass. General misfit must urge caution.

     

    Let's look at other possible sequences by slightly changing either hand.

    This time NORD must pass.

     

     

    2 ♠ = max 6 H, 2 H 4-6 card or 3 cards 3-5 DH.

    You see that the knowledge of two spades cards used to declare the inning.

    With one point less North should be content with 3 ♠ propositional.

     

     

    2 ♦ = 7-10 H.

    2 ♥ = 3-4 cards

    3 ♥ = propositional.

     

     

    2 ♥ = max 6H, 5+ cards, no quality required with a short in spades.

    2NT = 19-20 H or 18 H beautiful.

    3 ♦ = 5 + -5.

    3NT = on behalf of 20 M and two large tile to honors.

     

    NORTH hand can not be well treated STANDARD because it must immediately show its strength by making a jump. 

    The 2 ♣ GAZZILLI forcing rightly all the qualities to deal with these hands. But the 2 ♣ GAZZILLI is it not simply a 2 ♣ strong indeterminate having already shown the most!

    This allows the respondent to answer 2 ♦ with 7+ H. asks to 2 ♦ will be forcing inning   unless the opener is in the zone 14-16 H, natural 5M-4 + ♣ or 5M-3-3- 15 + 2 H. -16 any other response is limited to 6H, the opener this time will explore the inning with a set of 2 FORT.

    Sequence STANDARD:

    3 ♠ = SPLINTER. The response of 2 ♣ (questionable STANDARD) showing 10+ H, the SPLINTER may start from 15H well made.

    4 ♦ = complementary honor.

    5 ♣ = 4-1 keys

    5 ♥ = grand slam in sight, LADY trump or supernumerary welcome asset.

     

    5 is visualized lifted clovers +5 tile lifted (if the opener has 5 cards) 2As and a cup = 13 tricks to clover.

    But in the East tile asset sees only 12 raised: there is no short cut to the hand.

    Conclusion: if WEST 5 tile cards, report the grand slam in clover. But if WEST tile has only 4 cards, he must be content with 6 clovers.

    Caution: SPLINTER of the opener, unlike direct SPLINTER respondent, to promise a bicolor at least 5-4 concentrated.

    5 ♥    = Yes, with the heart of AS.

    What are you doing in this?

    You can only reapply 4 ♥ ! Indeed if you ask again 3 ♥ you will be forced to pass on 3NT asks for the 4 ♥ then shows a hand with some ambitions. And 3NT contract, good luck to your partner because you bring him no help and no lift.

     

    In fact, no question to pass 3 ♣ (only correct if the partner is 5-5 minor short ♥ ) because the auction is 100% forcing (the opener can be made Fitte with a fourth and a really big game) .

     

    And now the 4 games and sequence MOST SECURE:

    1 ♦  = 4+ cards, irregular.

    1NT = GAZZILLI. H 14+, too strong for 1 ♠, 2 ♣ and 2 ♦ but not strong enough or structured FM auction.

    2 ♥ = max 6H, 6 cards or 5 cards and related to a short ♦ .

     

    Note: with 6-7 H and a sixth solid color and bonded or seventh correct one makes a jump to 3 ♥ . From 7 H 2 ♣ is answered on the GAZZILLI.

    Let the various requested again what can NORD on the response of 2 ♥ after a GAZZILLI .

    Of course with 2+ NORTH heart cards had expressed to the necessary level.

    If NORD Announces 3 ♣ 5-5 it shows a short ♥ 18-19 H, somewhat low for a direct jump to the bearing 3 in the 1st round.

    If North ad 2 ♠ hand it shows a 5+ ♦ -4 ♠ 18 -20 + H too much for 1 ♠ but not enough to handle a forcing jump in the 1st round.

    If NORD Announces 3 ♦ it shows a single-colored solid 6th tile unstamped with 8-raising game (hand Example 6-4 equates to a color). With a single-colored tile limited NORD must pass.

    If NORD ad 2NT, it shows a hand like 5 ♦ -4 ♣ -3-1 (6 ♦ non-solid) 19-20 H.

     

    There is no photo. Bid a strong hand by forcing bid of 1NT GAZZILLI is much higher than the bid of 3 ♣ forcing the standard. The great strength of GAZZILLI is to create a situation forcing the most economical bid.

    This allows to identify immediately the weak hands of the partner and then express the great potential strength through the most appropriate auction.

    You can ask again 2NT brake application, but you may play 3 ♦ by 5-1.

     

     

    Now look at the sequence MAJOR SECURE:

    1 ♦  = 4+ cards, irregular.

    1NT = GAZZILLI. H 14+, too strong for 2 ♣ and 2 ♦ but not strong enough or structured FM auction.

    Interclub D1A: Final League in AMIENS

    You do not satisfactorily asks for bid 3 ♣ is not forcing.

    It is not putting 3NT directly or 4th forcing 3 ♦ you are going to solve the problem.

    A first remark for those who use direct auction of 3 ♣ and 3 ♦ to show a major fit.

    Such a waste! First you monopolize 2 helpful necessarily natural auction. Then you can undergo a cons of starts.

    A second note to those who play the direct auction of 3 ♣ and 3 ♦ STANDARD to show a powerful one color at least 15 H. Good, but these are very rare auction. 

    The solution: use direct auction of 3 minor hand a dozen points. These are hands where in STANDARD you intended to answer two Minor then repeat the color to tier 3.

    If you are smaller, you respond 1NT and you name your color then.

    If you are stronger (ie FM), you answer 2 in the minor that you repeat the bearing 3.

     

    Two examples of hands where BESSIS-VOLCKER have used this approach to the world championships in LYON:

    On 1 ♠ opening BESSIS his partner responded 3 ♦  :

    once with: ♠ A6   ♥ V8   ♦ AV10842   ♣ 642

    the other time with: ♠ Vxx   ♥ x   ♦ RDVxxxxx   ♣ x

     

    And now the complete diagram and the sequence by using this approach :

     

    3 ♣ = 6+ cards. Forcing.

    3 ♦ = application shutdown.

    4 ♣ = Too many top-cards to switch to 3NT.

    4 ♠ = additional honor.

    4NT = to query the clover asset must have at least 3 keys.

    5 ♦ = 4 or one key (old standard).

    6NT = conclusion without knowing the trump LADY.

     

     

    And now the sequence MOST SECURE:

    2 ♦ = not least, nothing to do with the tiles.

    3NT = as we know that the opener is not a minimum bid of 3NT is limited.

    4 ♣ = TURBO.

    4 ♠ = a + a complementary key honor.

    4NT = missing elements to conclude the asset DAME and tile control.

     

    At both tables slam was stuffed. With my partner we did not play the asks to 3 ♣ forcing. 2 ♦ so I responded 2 ♥ and asks the 3 ♥ I concluded to 3NT.

    Your partner in SOUTH opens 2 ♦ MULTI.

    You answer 2 ♥  (if you had a singleton spade you would have responded 2 ♠)

    and 2NT asks opener. How do you see the future?

    If the opener is 22-23 H you plan slam and you can exceed the level of 3NT. By cons, if the opener is 20-21 H is dangerous to pass 3NT.

    What then is the way to explore the best deal without exceeding 3NT.

     

     

     

     

    What does the bid 3 ♦ on 2NT? Maybe not a TEXAS with 5+ cards heart for bid 2 ♥ denies 5 cards heart. Indeed with 5 cards  heart without 4 spades cards are answered 2 ♠ and 5 ♥ -4 ♠ 3 is answered ♦ directly and with 5 ♥ -5 ♠ is answered 3 ♠ (see agreement  2 ♦ MULTI ) . Use bid 3 ♦ to show a singleton heart and 3-4 spades cards.

    If the opener asks 3NT because it stops many hearts, you can then restart with sufficient force to exceed the level of 3NT.

     

    If you answered 2 ♠ with spades singleton, developments are even more specific.

    Indeed, with 4 cards at heart you make a STAYMAN. The opener has only two possible answers: 3 ♦ and 3 ♥ . It does not answer 3 ♠ because you can not have pikes answering 2 ♠.

    With 5 cards heart you make a TEXAS. In the area 20-21 H opener must rectify except maximum and Fitte by 4 cards.

    So you see, you can then reapply 3 ♠ after STAYMAN or TEXAS or directly to show that short in spades.

     

    The complete hand:

     

    3 ♦ = short to  heart with 3-4 cards spades.

    3 ♥ = Did you 4 spades.

    4 ♦ = No, but ambitions with 5 solid cards or 6 cards.

     

     

    Other answers 3 ♥ :

    3 ♠ = 4 + cards ambitions

    4 ♠ = 4 cards, stop.

    3NT = 3 cards without ambitions.

    4m = 5 correct cards or cards with 6 goals.

    4 ♥   = minor bicolor 5-4 with a 5th poor and ambitions.

     

    Note: hand SOUTH be open from 2 multi or 2NT after you play. After opening a 2 multi you have the weapons to bid this kind of hands. By opening 2NT you will not have the technical means to bid this kind of hands. That is why we must open up multi 2 in the mini area and 2NT in the maximum area for the mini three area is more common than the maximum area. Based on what I have to say that hand should be open 2NT. But here I open 2 ♦ multi (22-23 H) to show that this opening you have the technical weapons to bid good hands with major singleton.

     

    The full chart: I'll let you find the best game plan to win the slam because the assets are 4-1.

    How to bid hand when NORTH SOUTH opens 2 ♥ FANTUNES.

    Let's look at two possible sequences, one where one decides to jump to 3 ♠ to show 6+ forcing handle cards, the other when we begin to relay 2 ♠.

     

     

    On the auction of 3 ♠, SOUTH redemanderait 3NT with spade singleton, 

    4 ♠ with a picnic or doubleton 6-3 ♠ -2-2 minimum, but here he makes an early cue-bid.

    After the cue-bid 4 ♦ and 4 ♥ , NORTH merely 4 ♠. Indeed we must find the DAME of Spades, AS and ROI heart and another in AS SOUTH making 13 H. If SOUTH these cards out he will raise. Or SOUTH knows that her partner has a tile control, which is not good news in front of the dry AS. So it must pass 4 ♠.

     

    In this sequence, bid 3 ♠ rather shows 5 cards and ambitions.

    If asked for more SOUTH 3NT, we conclude to 4 ♥ .

    The auction of 4 ♣ shows made picnic and short ♦. The sequence continues as before and for the same reasons SOUTH must pass 4 ♠.

     

    Notes: heart LADY seems to be a nice card NORTHERN but absolutely must have AS SOUTH heart and ROI for the slam.

    2 ♣ = Roudi.

    3 ♥   = 19-20 with DH 6-3-3-1 ♦ . In this area the opener has not 4 cards at heart, he would have a reverse (page 23 of the book). This slam sequence must be precise: the opener appoints 3 ♦ with 5+ ♣ -4 ♦ -3 ♠, if he appoints residue:

    3 ♥ with 6+ ♣ -3 ♥ -3 ♠ , 3 ♠ with 6+ ♣ -3 ♦ -3 ♠ 3NT otherwise without residue: 6-3♠-2-2.

    4 ♣ = TURBO

    4 ♥   = 3 (5) controls, hence the conclusion.

     

    Note: It may seem unwise to take a leap with a shaky clover color. But if you decide to bid the hand of WEST otherwise you will overshadow the 6th clover and lie on the lengths of the other colors. When you answer 3 ♥ to show 19-20 DH with 6-3-3-1 ♦, your partner has a very clear idea of your hand. Let the exercise of judgment, he will know better than you, find the optimal contract.

    2 ♣ = Let SAUVET 11+ Natural H. Let made mostly 3rd, from 9 DH

    2 ♠ = 12-13 DH.

     ? WEST = must order a sleeve?

     

    It seems difficult not to declare the round. And yet ...

    Even with this beautiful tile singleton, the sleeve is only 50% because it is essential to find the heart of Jack.

    With the same cards without singleton diamond sleeve is ... 0%.

    This is only a hand evaluation. What is the labor WEST?

    A classic account brings to 14 DH.

    In this hand spades Compact should not be counted. Indeed, if the partner has the LADY, the VALET not and if he does not play the DAME you play spades head and VALET will not be of any help. If the 8th fit, VALET, ten and 9 of asset must be valued, but not if made longer.

    Both LADIES annexes must also be devalued in a color to contract.

    What brings you to 12 DH *, say 13 * DH valuing the sequence heart. That makes 25-26 DH in the line, which is insufficient for a handle PAIRS.

     

    In conclusion :

    When we do not play the 2 MAJOR FANTUNES, it is not known if the opener has a singleton or 6th spades, so it is normal to declare the round.

    When playing the 2 MAJOR FANTUNES we know that the opener has 12-13 DH with 5 ♠ -3-3-2 or 5 ♠ -4m-2-2, we can pass on 2 ♠.

     

    I do not know a player capable of passing the hand WEST 2 ♠, which is normal when you do not play the 2 ♣ SAUVET . His ego would take a big hit if the race won! How much you spend with the game! What what you need to declare the race etc ...

    You can only reapply 2 ♥ and remains there.

    With hand No. 3 (the hand of the day) we are forced to respond 1 ♦ in the first round because of the 4 ♠.

    And now you need to make a round effort by using the small Roudi 1 ♠. As the partner is Fitte just have TOP CARDS and (or) honors in ♠ to have a very good handle. If the opener responds 1NT on the small Roudi, you can reapply wisely 2 ♥ , but FOUR you can reapply 3 ♥ shows 6 cards and almost surely pique 4 cards. 

    Why say this type of hand? 

    Because with 5 cards we simply reapply 2 ♥ (10-11 DH) or we would have made a Roudi 2 ♣ (12-13DH).

    With 6 cards and 9-10 H would have also made a Roudi to  2 ♣. Bid 3 ♥ can not come from a 6-4. It would be surprising in the opposing silence this is not 4 cards in ♠. Anyway with 6 ♥ low -4m it is best to make a direct TEXAS 2 ♦ to precisely steer the ♠ opponents. QED.

    The sequence MAJOR SECURE :

    2 ♣ = GAZZILLI . It is too hard to reach 4 ♠ would show a 5-4-2-2 about 20 H.

    2 ♥ = low FITTE not less than 7 H.

    4 ♣ = Fit ♠ course, very strong . A 5-4-2-2 21-23 H or SPLINTER BIG with a lack of honor in the bicolor.

     

    WEST is a 5th Spades (4 cards with the slam would be worst) and heart AS understands the message and shows his heart ace.

    Querying routine and conclusion.

     

    Note: If you open a handle 2 forcing, slam is stated  quite easily.

    This has the merit of simplicity but the opening is abusive.

    The sequence STANDARD:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    2 ♠ = strong color at least 6th. Strong play.

    3 ♥ = Control. With King of third tile should provide the fit.

    4 ♣ = Control. With double Spades King should give the fit and with a lower offer 3NT hand.

    4 ♦ = complementary Hon second.

    4 ♠ = Large dry honor.

    At this stage it seems that 6NT is the best deal: one of the two main colors may win but be careful to play the hand EST.

     5 ♦ = Denies the clover AS and confirms the great honor ♦ . Is chooses the contract.

     

     

    The sequence SECURE MAJOR:

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    1 ♠ = No way to jump to 2 ♠ would show 6 ♠ -4 ♥ 8-10 H.

    1NT = GAZZILLI (too strong for 1 ♠ 2 ♣ and 2♦but not strong enough or structured for auction FM). One could also make a jump to 3♦but dry honors in major are questionable values. 

    2 ♣ = 7+ H . 3rd forcing. Monitoring 2NT = FM.

    2 ♦ = minimum. H 15-16 (made without 3rd)

    2 ♠ = 6+ cards (at this stage would be a 2NT FM relay without natural bid).

    3 ♦ = 7 cards probable or we appoint a force or 2NT or did at  ♠.

    4 ♦ = TURBO.

    4 ♠ = 1 or 3 keys. Big honor Dry ♠.

    4NT = control ♥ .

    5 ♣ = control ♣.

     

    Notes: to bid these hands whether MAJOR MAJOR STANDARD or SECURE it takes a lot of sophistication to achieve the best contract. In MOST SECURE not jump to the strong hands of the respondent, it helps to have all the space to structure both hands. Thus it is possible, after obtaining the maximum information, question to the bearing 4 ♦ by TURBO.

    The sequence is given in MOST SECURE but it deserves some comment.

    Of course with the hand of IS must respond to the opening of more than MOST SECURE opening 1 mainly holds up to 23 H.

    2 ♣ is a GAZZILLI

    2 ♣ = GAZZILLI: at least 14 H.

             At least 14 H 5 + H-4 + H ♣ 14-20 or said fourth ♠ 14-16 H or zone 4 (5 H 21-23 ♥ -4 ♠ -2-2) .

             At least 15+ H: 5-3-3-2 + 15 -19 M (3-3-2 with 5M-15 H sometimes opens 1NT).

             Too hard to 2x but not strong enough or structured to 2NT or 3x.

     

    The hand of WEST is very pure it can also make a forcing jump to 3 ♣ .

    Any asks TSE other than 2 ♦ shows a weak hand limited to 6H . What should he ask again here?

    It seems natural to reapply 2 ♥ . But it's now or never present your pikes. If the partner has 2 or 3 spades card is 2 ♠ need to reapply. And even with a singleton ♠ it is not said that the contract of 2 ♠ will be as good as 2 ♥ . The advantage MOST SECURE is that the bid of 2 ♠ is limited to 6 H, the opener must be hard to raise.

    Result gives : 4 ♠ 3. I s there was no tile begins and the asset ROI was placed twice.

     A cut and paste of gives 23 of 24.11.2015

    How to find this excellent 6 ♦ . It is the knowledge of the 7th tile which is the key shot. Now MOST SECURE makes this distinction. Three directions for single-colored tiles powerful:

    1 ♦ monitoring 1NT GAZZILLI for single-colored 6th 15-19 H. 

    1 ♦ followed by 3 ♦  (or 3NT if freed and Annexes stops) to the seventh single-colored limited to 15-17 H.

    2 ♦ multi monitoring 3 ♦ ( or 3NT if af crossed and related stoppages ) for the 6th or 7th single-colored 20-22 H 18-20 H

    The sequence MAJOR SECURE :

     

     

     

    3 ♦ = 7 cards ~ 4 losers. Type ACOL.

    3 ♠ = Strength

    One can also ask to be concluded. Do not think because 6NT color ♦ seems not freed.

    How to find this excellent 6 ♣. It is the knowledge of the 7th clover that is the key shot. Now MOST SECURE makes this distinction. Three directions for single-colored powerful clubs:

    1 ♣ monitoring  2 ♦  for unicoloured sixth 15-19 H (without major third made in the area 15-17 H).

    1 ♣ followed by 3 ♣ (or 3NT if freed and Annexes stops) to the seventh single-colored limited to 15-17 H.

    3 ♦ = force

    3 ♠ = Clovers are not strong enough to provide 3NT with only AS picnic.

    4 ♣ = TURBO. The trigger TURBO is captain of the sequence.

    4 ♥ = odd number keys + control ♥ .

    4NT = no picnic control and monitoring ♦ .

    The opener concludes.
