font size='20px'> After a minor suit opening, Opener's response jump bid to 2NT

  • denies a biddable major at the 1 level

Problem E1198 No biddable major at the 1 level, regular hand and 18-19HCP (18HCP in this case), Opener rebids 2NT.
 
 
Responder's 2nd bid after Opener's jump bid to 2NT
All Responder's shift bids are forcing except Game sign off :
  • With the strength for Game and a 5 card major, the Responder bids his other minor (type of Roudi)
  • Support bid in opening minor is natural
  • Rebidding the major at the 3 level shows 6 cards and Slam hopes.
  • On the other hand, if Responder rebids his minor at the 3 level, this means minimum support.
