Responses to a level 1 Major opening - Suit Shift
>When you don't have support, you may bid another suit :
  • at level 1 with a minimum of 5 HCP and at least 4 cards in the suit .
  • at level 2 (2/1) with game force values (13+ HCP)

    • Caution !
    • In response to a 1♠ opening, 2♥ promises 5 cards.
    • In the minor suits, 4 cards are enough.
    • All shifts are forcing.
