But with any shape with a spade fit, you are better placed if you name your major.


I am not going to belabour this point Roland, however I totally disagree.

I play that 1c-1h;1s promises 4+ clubs. (Confirms clubs)
So a 1NT rebid may have a four card major if the hand has 3 clubs.
So I'm between both approaches I guess.

since i happen to see more good than bad with walsh, i'd almost always rebid 1nt after 1c/1d with 4 spades <and> with 4 hearts (assuming a flat hand - no stiff, void, 2 dbltons)

i agree with hog here, a rebid of the major <guarantees> at least 5 clubs (unless, as he said, opener has 4441 dist).. it makes it very easy for responder to understand what opener has

as for responder's rebids, assume 1c/1d/1nt.. this is easy to me, responder passes with <12 points.. with 12+ responder can reverse into a 4 card major if he holds that...

i really see no problems with walsh... the most i can say against it is, sometimes not playing it works out as well
