Did you Know?
All
1NT openings are announced (if natural) or alerted (if artificial). All
responses of 2♣,
2♦
or 2♥
to a natural 1NT opening without intervention are either announced or alerted
except natural weak take-outs.
Therefore
Red
suit transfers, i.e.
♦ to ♥
and ♥ to ♠,
are announced, but only in response to a natural 1NT opening where there has
been no intervention, and where the transfer shows at least five cards in the
major suit concerned. Opener says “Hearts” when 2♦ is bid, or
“Spades” when 2♥
is bid. So
if your transfer bid could be something else as well i.e. the starting bid in a
weak take out sequence it must be alerted and explained fully if required.
