You have 12 points and you respond 1♠. Partner rebids 1NT. What do you say next? Partner has 12-14 points, balanced. You have an excellent 4-card ♥ suit, but if you bid 2♥ right now it is not forcing on partner and he will almost surely pass. And you definitely don't have the points to jump to 3♥. New Minor Forcing gives you a way out. So you say 2♦ and your wonderful partner bids 2♥. What now? |
