Quiz - ACOL Notrump Openings and Stayman
In ACOL the 1NT opening is weak, showing a balanced hand with 12-14 HCP, and the 2NT opening
shows a balanced 20-22 HCP. After partner's 1NT opening, the artificial 2C Stayman bid asks whether opener holds a
four card major so the partnership can find a 4-4 trump fit.
This quiz is based on ACOL bidding, where the 1NT opening shows 12-14 HCP and the 2C Stayman enquiry promises at least 11 HCP and at least one four card major - roughly 25 combined points are needed for game, so responder needs 11-12 HCP to invite and 13+ HCP to insist on game.
