CANAPE ( Germany )
1. CANAPE-OPENINGS
1 Diamond
1 Heart
1 Spade
1.1 meaning :
a) 3 or 4 cards + other 5-card-suit, 9-15 HCP, can be xxx
(9-10 HCP only with decent long suit)
b) 4441-distr. with singleton below suit bid, 12-15 HCP
c) 5 cards with other higher 5-card suit, 12-15 HCP (i.e.: D+H, D+S, H+S)
1.2 responses :
a) 1NT : forcing for one round, 10+ HCP, any distr.
b) next higher suit : negative relay , 0-10 HCP (2C over 1S !)
c) other suit : nat., 5+ cards, 6+ HCP, non-forcing
d) inverted raises (5+ cards)
e) jump in new suit : nat., weak
f) 2NT : slam-interest in opened suit, --> cue-bids
1.3 rebids by opener after 1NT
a) new suit shows 5 cards, 9-12 HCP
b) jump in new suit shows 6 cards, 13-15 HCP
c) 2 NT : 5332-distr., 13-15 HCP
d) rebid of first suit : 4 cards + other 5-card suit, 13-15 or : 4441-hand, 12-15 HCP
e) jump rebid of first suit : 5-5-distr., 12-15 HCP
1.4 rebids by opener after negative relay
a) pass : 5-cards in relay-suit, 9-15 HCP
b) new suit : 5 cards, 9-15 HCP
c) 1 NT : 5332-distr. with 5 cards in relay-suit, 13-15 HCP
d) rebid of first suit : 4 cards + 5 in relay-suit, 13-15 HCP
e) raise of relay-suit : 6 cards + 4 in first suit, 11-15 HCP
f) jump-rebid of first suit : 5 cards + 5 in relay suit, 12-15
1.5 general approach in forcing sequences
a) forcing 1-NT-response + maximum-showing (13-15) rebid creates a
"forcing-to-game"-situation
b) the first relay after opener has shown his long suit and a minimum-
hand (9-12) asks for exact distribution and is forcing to game :
--> rebid of the long suit shows 6 cards and 3 cards in first suit;
--> rebid of first suit shows a 5422- distribution
--> rebid in a new suit shows a singleton in a 5431-hand
--> a NT-rebid shows a 5332-distribution
c) after the distribution is known, a bid in one of opener's suits below
game level (otherwise lowest possible relay) is asking for the quality of the suit :
--> 1st step : no honor or AKQ
2nd step : AK or Q
3rd step : A or K
4th step : AQ or KQ
d) later relays are asking for the number of controls (below
4NT) or for aces (4NT and higher
