I forget already what it's called, but the idea was that X shows any two touching suits (I assume you use 2C relay with optional Paradox stuff); 2C shows a three-suiter including clubs (clubs and 2 higher), 2D shows a three-suiter short in clubs (diamonds and 2 higher), and 2M is natural. I haven't really thought very hard about this defense; does anyone see a particular merit or danger of playing it? -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
