19:59:00 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	The Unusual 2NT shows the two lowest suits that have not yet been bid.

19:59:21 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	So it never shows spades - the highest suit!

19:59:44 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Grab these lesson hands from tonight's game:

20:00:16 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Be careful when you have unfavorable vulnerability!

20:01:47 From Sharon Carroll To Everyone:
	Is playing the 2NT alterable?  I believe I had the director called on me today for not alerting this bid in the game.

20:01:58 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	NO Sharon :)
	The Unusual 2NT is not alertable.

20:06:59 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	The Unusual 2NT shows at least 5/5 in the two lowest unbid suits.  Your hand will be:
	Weak - 5-11 (NV) or 6-11 (V)
 	or
	Strong - 16+

20:07:26 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	When you hold "just and opening hand," you should overcall
        the higher-ranking suit, and plan to rebid the lower.

20:07:41 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	You bid Unusual 2NT with either a weak or a strong hand.

20:08:43 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	TWELVE CARDS in 2 SUITS!  Very Special!

20:09:20 From Bronia Jenkins To Everyone:
	Reacted to "TWELVE CARDS in 2 SU..." with ❤️

20:12:43 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Suit Preference signal by defenders -- you can talk through your cards!  ;)

20:14:16 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	If West has the KD and a small on, they're always scoring the King.
        If the King is bare, (singleton), it will drop beneath the Ace.

20:16:12 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Unusual 2NT shows 5/5 or 6/5 or 6/6 in the two lowest UNBID suits.

20:17:23 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	ARTIFICIAL and NOT alertable - Unusual 2NT

20:19:19 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	@Lin Saffer made 5C doubled on that last one!
	👏

20:20:40 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Every time the responder bids a new suit, it's 100% forcing!

20:21:04 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	In a suit contract, Declarer must first count losers to start the plan.

20:22:17 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	When you overtake partner's K with your A, then you lead another of that suit, 
        partner knows you only have a doubleton.

20:23:22 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Here comes another diamond!  Yikes!

20:24:43 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	UPPERCUT … An "uppercut" in bridge is a defensive play where a player ruffs high, and it promotes a 
	trump card into a winner for the defenders. Often it's a defender ruffing high to promote a 
	trump in their partner's hand.
	
	In this deal, though, the uppercut forces declarer to ruff high. Either way, the uppercut 
        is a type of trump promotion for the defending side.

20:25:41 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	Lots to learn on that hand!

20:26:42 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:

	🥳🤩😉🥰

20:29:09 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	2NT shows at least 5/5 in in two lowest unbid suits.

20:29:52 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	With a massive suit fit, it's a GO for bidding game!
	🚀

20:31:51 From Pam To Everyone:
	If they collected the trump and ran the diamonds, it might work?

20:36:04 From Lynn Chapin To Everyone:
	🐼  When you're missing stoppers in 2 suits, and you bid one of the suits, that SHOWS a stopper in the suit.
	🐸 When you're missing a stopper in the opponent's suit, cuebidding their suit ASKS partner for a stopper in it.
