Minor-Suit Inventions
Respect for neglected suits begins with your one-notrump structure. If you do not use jumps to to three diamonds, three hearts, and three spades to show minor two-suiters, you should. If you already do, you are using them inefficiently - in ways that can be substantially and easily improved.
Allan DeSerpa is a professor of economics at Arizona State University in Tempe. A frequent contributor to The Bridge World, Allan dabbles in bidding theory and writes a book when the spirit moves him to do so.
