Responding to GSF
The more you bid the more you have.
Bidding past 6T always shows two of the top three honors. Bid
higher than 6T, in a suit other than the agreed trump suit,
is presumably natural and forcing (COS). 6NT response
suggests 7NT (Accepts Grand-Try, therefore presumed
forcing.)
7♣ response to GSF is artificial, showing best holding possible,
and allowing GSF bidder to choose the grand he wishes to
McCallum/Shuman April 11, 1994 GSF.275
Specifically:
If ♣ are trump: 6♣=No.
If ♦ are trump: 6♣=None. 6♦=1 (A,K,Q).
If ♥ are trump: 6♣=None. 6♦=1. 6♥=A or K with extra length.
If ♠ are trump: 6♣=None. 6♦=Q. 6♥=A or K. 6♠=A or K with extra
length.
If responder to GSF has bid his own suit three times, or shown a
ONE-LOSER suit, GSF asks for solidity opposite a small
singleton. If he has shown SOLID suit, GSF asks for
solidity opposite a void.
