Overview
Transfers is a great way for the Responder to show 5 or more cards in a major with either: a weak hand, an inviational hand, a game going hand, or even a slam going hand.
Using Tranfers ensures that the strong hand is hidden and that the weak hand is the dummy.
Completing this course will help you:
- To accurately bid all hands with five or more cards in a major
- Escape from 1NT when you have a weak hand with a five card major
- Escape from 1NT when you have a weak hand with a six card minor
- Invite game, or bid game, when you have at least 5 cards in a major
- and keep the strong hand hidden from view
Who is the course for?
This online course is for all players who don’t play Transfers, or it is for players who already play Transfers but don’t really understand what to do after making the initial bid.
This online course should be taken in conjunction with Stayman 16-18
