TimG and I are going to start alpha testing GNAT. We're looking for some decent opponents who'd be interested in a game. I can virtually guaruntee a number of bidding mistakes on our part, as well as some "ah-ha" moments when we find holes in the system. On the other hand, you'll get the chance to laugh at my defense...

Throw me a message if you'd be interested

Here's a brief description of what we're playing:

Strong Club, 4 card majors, light openings

Preemptive Structure:

2N = Weak with both minors
2♠ = Weak two bid
2♥ = weak two bid
2♦ = weak two bid

Constructive openings: Canape and 4 card majors (4=x=x=6 = 2♣)

2♣ = 6+ Clubs, 0-3 Diamonds
1N = Balanced 11+ - 14 (could have a 4 card major)
1♠ = Unbalanced with ~ 9 - 14 HCP, could have a longer minor
1♥ = Unbalanced with ~ 9 - 14 HCP, could have a longer minor
1♦ = Unbalanced with ~ 9 - 14 HCP, could have a longer minor

Strong Openings

1♣

Response structure

After a 1♠ opening

3♠ = Value raise
3♥ = Strong jump shift
3♦ = Strong jump shift
3♣ = Strong jump shift
2N = Limit raise+
2♠ = Value raise
2♥ = Forcing to 2N
2♦ = 3+ Diamonds, forcing to 2N
2♣ = 3+ Clubs, forcing to 2N
1N = Forcing

After a 1♥ opening

3♥ = Value raise
3♦ = Fit jump (non forcing with 6 Diamonds and 3 Hearts)
3♣ = Fit jump (non forcing with 6 clubs and 3 Hearts)
2N = Compressed strong jump shift
Self sufficient suit or slam invvite fit jump
2♠ = Limit raise+
2♥ = Value raise
2♦ = 3+ Diamonds, forcing to 2N
2♣ = 3+ Clubs, forcing to 2N
1N = Forcing
1♠ = Forcing

After a 1♦ opening

3♦ = value raise
2N = Limit raise with 4+ Diamonds
2♠ = Limit raise with 3+ Diamonds and 3+ Clubs
2♥ = Compressed jump shift
2♣ = Forcing to 2N
1N = Forcing (the 1♦ opening is unbalanced, so...)
1♠ = Forcing
1♥ = Forcing
