Compliments to the boxes I have been too lazy to go through since I moved 10 years ago.......


One of the best ever transfer situation is after Opener shows 4441 with a bid below the singleton....

f.ex. in Multi 2♦ - 2♥; 3♣ showing 4-4-1-4

now

3♦ = ♥
3♥ = ♠
3♠ = ♣

Next step can be asking for losers, very effective as you know distribution and now you just count covercards and place the contract. 2nd step to be a relay to next bid and then you ask for losers if you have singleton in the 4-card suits counted from below, recurring again but now with voids in 4-card suits counted from below. 3rd step could be RKC as you have already set the suit..

Another one for you playing 2♣ Precision.
Have you tried to find a transfer scheme after 2♣ (which doesnt deny 4-card major) and come up short?

Let the opponents help you with a X and see it all works!!!

xx = At least inv. hand that would have bid 2♦ without the double.
2♦ = ♥
2♥ = ♠
2♠ = ♦ or alterntively good bal. inv. with ♣.
2NT = bad or very good ♣-raise
3♣ = inv. ♣-raise with at least 4-card support.

I guess Im a couple of years too late with this stuff as it hasnt been usefull to me after moving away from strong club systems more or less 16 years ago.

Have you tried to make a

So you ask the entire hand and make sure the known hand will be declarer? Great idea...

well, you cant have everything....
but now you can stop in 3x or bid your way to any sensible slam knowing what you are doing instead of only having the singleton as a forcing bid
