The answer is Namyats. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Playing Namyats we use the 4♣ and 4♦ in addition to the 4♥ and 4♠ openings to differentiate between 'good and 'bad' 4♥/♠ openers. The 'good' one is about 8-8½ playing tricks. The complete scheme is: - |
|
| |
| |
|
|
|
| 4♣ |
a 'good' 4♥ opening |
| 4♦ |
a 'good' 4♠ opening |
| 4♥ |
a 'bad' 4♥ opening |
|
|
| 4♠ |
a 'bad' 4♠ opening |
|
|
| |
