Larry's Articles. SHARE: Two-Over-One GF -- Part 1 (Introduction) next. Author: Larry Cohen. Date of publish: 01/01/2011. Level: Intermediate. Printer friendly version. Did any of you play bridge in the 1960's? You don't have to admit it. Back then, there was a move to switch from the STRONG TWO-BID to Weak-Two's.
An important part of the 2/1 GF system is to employ a 1NT bid (by an unpassed hand) in response to a major-suit opening bid as forcing (or semi-forcing) for one round. Unlike Standard American, this bid is not limited to 6 to 9 HCP. Normally, it shows 6 to 12 HCP.
An important feature of the 2/1 GF system is to employ a 1NT bid (by an unpassed hand) in response to a major-suit opening bid as forcing (or semi-forcing) for one round. Unlike Standard American, this bid is not limited to 6 to 9 HCP. Normally, it shows 6 to 12 HCP.
Level: Intermediate. Printer friendly version. PART 6 (Finally 2/1 auctions!) In the previous 5 months, we laid the groundwork for the 2/1 GF system. Now, we can get into the fun part of the system--the actual 2-over-1 auctions.
If the opening is 1 or 1 and the next player PASSES, then a 2-level response in a lower-ranking suit is indeed 2/1 GF. If the next player after the opening bid Doubles or Overcalls, we do not use 2/1 GF. Note: If you play any conventional responses to 1 or 1, those still apply. You can play 2/1 GF with or without any artificial raises.
Printer friendly version. PART 5 (More responses to 1, 1, 1) Last month we started to examine when we are in a 2/1 GF auction and when we aren't. We'll spend one more month laying groundwork (next month we will get into the actual 2/1 auctions). Let's make sure we know about all responses to partner's openings of one-of-a-suit.
