Texas transfer, or simply Texas, is a bidding convention in contract bridge. Originated independently by David Carter of St. Louis and Olle Willner of Sweden, and used in response to a notrump opening when holding a six-card or longer major suit, game-going points and no interest in slam, its objective is to make the notrump opener the declarer in a game contract in the major suit. After a notrump opening, responder bids the suit below〔In bridge, the suits are ranked with spades the highest, hearts next, then diamonds and clubs as lowest.〕 his major at the four-level, i.e. if he holds hearts, he bids 4 and if he holds spades, he bids 4. Opener is obliged to bid the next available major suit, i.e. after a 4 bid by responder, he bids 4 and after a 4 response, he bids 4 setting the contract. In the variant known as ''South African Texas'', responses of 4 and 4 are used as transfers to hearts and spades respectively. The standard defense to the Texas Transfer: double is one-suited and lead-directing, 4NT is for the minors, four of responder’s suit is a Michaels cuebid. A delayed double after opener accepts the transfer is a three-suited takeout.〔 Both Texas and South African Texas transfers may also be used as opening pre-emptive bids. A 4 and 4 can show a slightly different hand type (usually stronger) compared to a direct 4 or 4 opening. ==See also== * Jacoby transfer * Bidding system * Glossary of contract bridge terms 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Texas transfer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
