Non Forcing

If Declarer opens One ♣️ or One ♦️ or One ♥️ and partner responds at the same level (excluding One No Trump), is it Alertable if Opener can Pass the Response?

Comments

  • In England the Blue Book states:

    "4 H2 Because they have a potentially unexpected meaning, players must alert:......

    (d)A non-forcing new suit response,to a non-forcing suit opening at any level, below game, unless responder has previously passed, bids over a natural NT overcall, or makes a double jump...."

    So the answer to your question is that in England it is alertable unless the responder is a passed hand. Other jurisdictions may vary.

  • Thank you Paul.
