This popular convention is used when the Opener rebids 1NT or 2NT. Responder bids the new minor as an artificial way to ask about (or “check back” on) the majors. NmF showing at least game-invitational values and usually a 5-card major.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example Auctions: In each of these auctions, responder’s second bid is new minor forcing. The responder is asking the opener about the majors (typically looking for 3-card support).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each auction, Responder rebid is New Minor Forcing. These bids do not necessarily show a real suit; they are simply forcing bids that ask partner to describe his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Bidding a 4-card major<\/li>
  2. Showing 3-card support for partner’s major<\/li>

    Checkback is a variation of the New minor Forcing convention after opener rebids 1NT. Irrespective of which two suits have been bid prior to opener\u2019s 1NT rebid, 2\u2663 is always an inquiry (Checking back 3 card support for responder suit). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you use CBS, all above 2\u2663 sequence are asking bid looking for 3-card support for responder’s suit. Yes, you and partner no longer can stop in 2\u2663 which is small price to the advantage you gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Opener’s priorities are:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    1. Showing 3-card support for partner’s major<\/li>
    2. Bidding a 4-card major<\/li>
    3. Bidding 2\u2666 if none of the above conditions are met.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      As you can see 2\u2666 reply same as 2\u2666 reply when you use regular Stayman (after opening 1NT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
