2 questions on Bd #4: If the N hand bids Michaels, Gavin said that 3NT by S would be an offer to play. Sitting N, I would have probably taken 3NT as the "asking for minor" bid.... Is this partnership agreement or is it a general rule that at the 3 level, the no trump bid is no longer asking? Question 2: When N overcalls 2S (as in the recommended sequence), how many clubs does N promise by bidding 3c in response to partner's 2NT?
As a rule, 3NT is always an offer to play if it possibly can be. 3♣ shows 4 or more clubs.
How would you look for a minor suit fit after Michael’s over a weak 2 as here ? I’m guessing 4C or 5C both pass or correct ? If so is 4C non forcing invitational or looking for slam ? I guess the former as with the latter you could have used leaping Michaels ? Also would 4NT be minors here and how would that differ from 5C pass or correct ? I don’t think there’s anything on advancing Michaels over weak 2s in the masters series but if I’ve missed it, please could you direct me to the right lesson. Thanks Update - might have found the answer - is it just the same as slide 75 „meckwell applies” in masters series Michaels and unusual class?
We really enjoyed playing and learning in this game. However, on board 2 today we repeatedly called for a director as our opponent claimed incorrectly and it was accepted in error. No one ever responded.
Board 2. Called director repeatedly. Board 2 - incorrect claim. In 2S making 3. Incorrect cliam result was -1. Can you correct the score for Board 2 and our overall result?
