Bidding Theory and Systems

This page contains mostly system notes and does not get updated very frequently. For more ideas on bidding theory you might like to read my blog.

This is a variant on Millennium/Nightmare/Tell Club: a 1C opening shows 15+ HCP balanced, 15+ HCP with clubs, or various 19+ HCP hands.

It's also possbile to play Millennium Club with natural responses; some notes for this approach can be found here.

Polish Club: trying to improve on WJ05.
My favourite convention - an artificial 2C response to 1H or 1S.
Responses to 4NT opening (specific ace asking). One problem with the traditional 4NT opening is that there are some hands on which all you're interested in is partner's aces, but you can't open 4NT because you're unprepared for some of the responses. By rethinking the structure of responses we can significantly increase the frequency of the convention. The linked version does this without a huge increase in complexity.
