[edit] Quest transfers

Sorry, User:Pattayabridge but Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought, nor a soapbox for promotion of brilliant ideas. You're kindly requested to prove that Quest transfers are a popular convention, published in at least one major Bridge magazine or used by some major players. All that the Google search gives are self-promotions of http://www.pattayabridge.com on various web directories. Please see a similar precedent. I sympathize with your attempts to popularize your website or convention, but the WP:NOR policy of Wikipedia is that such material may be published only after some other reputable source has wrote about it.

[edit] strong opening bids

The article currently says "Strong two clubs in natural systems denote hands of 23+ points". But many people using Standard American and varients now play 2C for all unbalanced hands with 21 or more points. DES ^(talk) 15:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Misunderstanding

There is some misunderstanding in this article; conventions are "artificial" bids but 1NT and weak 2 opening bids are "natural". I will look up some references and correct this shortly. Abtract 17:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link to Karosel 2D

I added Karosel 2D under the heading "other opening bids." Both treatments under that heading (Flannery and Multi 2D are opening bids of 2D, as is Karosel 2D (my own invention). Unlike the article above which was questioned because Quest transfers was not published in a Bridge publication, my bridge convention was published in the May 2002 issue of the Bridge Bulletin printed Nationally by the ACBL.
