Multi-Landy Second Edition

When the opponents open one notrump, you are faced with a dilemma.  Versus a strong notrump, the opponents have the power; versus a weak notrump, they force you or your partner to compete at the two-level.  This second edition adds Part 5: Comparison with Other Conventions and a new section, Criteria for an Overcall.  Multi-Landy comprises four components:

• Multi.  2D shows a 6-card or longer major.


• Landy.  2C shows both majors.


• Cappelletti.  2S or 2H shows a 5-card major and a 4-card minor.


• Woolsey Double.  Shows either a 6-card minor or a 5-card minor with a 4-card major or a strong hand.

Multi-Landy has three key advantages. 

• Can be used against all opening one notrump HCP ranges.


• All hand types can be shown:  a long major, majors, major-minor 2-suiters with defined length, a long minor and strong hands. 


• Advancer has a defined set of  responses. 

The tactics in this book evolved from analysis of thousands of computer-generated deals to determine the statistics of successful overcalls.  Using these recommendations, you can effectively compete for part-scores, bid your games and occasionally bid slams.
