Transfer 2♦

This 2♦ transfer from Ambra makes it easier for opener to judge the right contract.

  • Invitational+ (10+) 5+♥
  • Constructive (8–10) 6+♥

In standard bidding methods, 1♠ - 1NT may conceal a heart fit. Finding the right contract for a 3-5 heart fit is challenging. Bart-style gadgets try to fix it after a whole round of bidding.
