blackwood con vention is so well known and so universally used that if is not necessary to tell your op ponents that you use it all oth er convention must be an- announced there is a variation of the blackwood convention that i would like to try some day if i could get my partners to agree perhaps you and your favorite partner would like to try it its part of the roman club system played by some italian pairs the kalians have been quite successful in the world championship bridge games lately the same as king bid is used that is four no trump asks partner about his aces but the responses are different 5 clubs shows no aces or 3 aces 5 diamonds shows 1 ace or 4 aces 5 hearts shows 2 aces the same 5 spades shows 2 aces not matched two aces the same or match ed means both minor both ma jor both red or both black hence two acesnot matched can mean only the aces of clubs and hearts or the aces ol dia monds and spades usually the person who bid four no trump will have an ace or two so the response will pin point exactly which aces the partnership has if your side has all four aces vuu can check for kings by bidding five no trump the res ponses are the same as for aces hul one level higher another ace asking conven tion which is fairly popular in north america is the gerber convention the gerber con vention is a variation of black wood designed lo permit ace- showing below lhe game level a hid of four dubs requires partner to show the number of h a as fth6wf 4 diamonds no ace or 4 aces 5 hearts 1 ace 5 spades 2 aces 5 no trump 3 aces the difficulty with this con vention is in deciding when the tour club bid is natural and when it is conventional it is best lo use the four clubs as a convention only when it is a jump bid if the partnership has all four aces then the four club bidder can hnvt the number of kings by bidding five clubs the number of kings is shown just as the aces arc but one round higher there is a variation of gerber in which you can ask for kings by bidding the next highest suit after the ace showing response a step response is used this requires good partnership un derstanding since it is easy lo became confused here is an example of roman blackwood in which opener linds his partner with just the right aces north s a k x h o j x x d x x c a x xx west east x x x x x s o j x x s h x x d a x x c k x x h x x d 10 x x x c x x x south s x h a
