  • Breaking the transfer

    I probably knew this at one time (back when I was playing regularly), but
    what does it mean if you don't bid the suit you're supposed to bid when
    partner transfers? I,e., is there a defined meaning to:

    1N 2H (transfer to spades)
    3D

    Or does it just mean you've lost your mind (or forgotten your system) ?

    Some kind of super-accept as defined by the partnership.
    Pard can bid 3H as a retransfer.

    Standard meaning 4c support doubleton in bid suit (3424/4423) and maximum. Think BWS standard https://tinyurl.com/yoana6tl is only in competition

    OK - I've never heard that before, but it makes a certain amount of sense.

    Something seems to have been lost in translation - not sure what you mean
    by this. Anyway, the true URL (translation of your tinyurl) is:
