A compact discussion outlines responder and opener expectations in notrump slams, including maximum two no trump openings, middle-range hands, and forcing bids. It covers responder’s game-going intent, possible slam chances in diamonds or hearts, and the importance of descriptive forcing bids to explore contracts. Tomorrow’s teaser: a man bites dog.
