Bridge with Harold Schogger © After a 5  or 5♣ reply you might still want to know if partner Has the Trump Queen So you make a relay bid – next suit up Partner can reply as follows :- 1. Return to original suit as low as possible no Queen 2. Go to 6 of agreed suit with Queen 3. Bid new suit at 6 level shows King of that suit plus queen

Bridge with Harold Schogger © 4NT asks about 5 Key cards ie 4 Aces, King of trump (and queen of trump) ? 5  = 3 or 0 5  = 1 or 4 5  = 2 without Queen, 5  = 2 with Queen After a 5  or 5♣ reply you might still want to know if partner Has the Trump Queen So you make a relay bid – next suit up Partner can reply as follows :- 1.

Bridge with Harold Schogger © If you ask for Kings immediately after asking for Aces then revert to Normal Blackwood responses and TOTALLY IGNORE King of trumps which has already been shown earlier. Problems that may occur in RKC Blackwood Some more points :- So 6  shows no Kings 6  shows 1 Kings 6 shows 2 Kings 6  shows 3 Kings 5.NB If in doubt as to the trump suit, treat last bid suit as the agreed suit 4. Some try to use the convention with NT bidding – this is of course impossible as there is no 5th key card !! 3. Sometimes players are not sure which is the agreed trump suit. 1. Some players play specific Kings and some play number of Kings. 2. Some players play 1430 instead of 3041 so make sure you know which version you are playing.
