I had one of my two live fantasy baseball drafts today, this with the Raleigh NC bridge players (I lived there for 21 years). One of the guys gave me a good laugh about a deal that happened at his table in the Wilmington NC Sectional last weekend.
This was the auction:
West North East South
Pass 1♦ Dbl Pass
1♥ 2♦ Pass Pass
3♣ All Pass
4
♥ makes on the deal, but 3
♣ went down one.
Afterwards, East asked, "What was 3
♣ ?
West said, "New minor forcing."
I knew there was a reason why nmf is largely unknown in the UK.
