Description
Very often , the responder has a 5 card major and no other side suit of 4 cards . The responder has enough points to reach game (potentially) so needs to somehow communicate to partner that they are holding a 5 card major .
Check-back stayman is a convention designed to help find the 5/3 FIT between the responder and the opener . It's one of the top best conventions invented for this exact reason. The major FIT scores a top score in a duplicate bridge room and the partnership that finds this FIT always goes home smiling.
The key here is that the responder must have sufficient game going points (i.e 11 hcp or more) in order to enter into this convention. They are also promising a 5 card major and denying a side suit of 4 cards. If they have a side suit of 4 cards, they can simply bid it . This will be showing 5 of the major anyway and there will be no need to do the check-back stayman convention after.
Come jump in and watch this 30 minute video on ONE of the Check-Back stayman techniques. There are a couple out there . Personally, I find this the easiest one.
Who this course is for:
- This convention (course) is for those wanting to broader their horizons and find the ultimate contract level
