Steve Willner:

>>(Any systemic way to recover from a possible misbid?)

Alain Gottcheiner:

>I don't understand this. Are such "ways" allowed ?

Richard Hills:

Drury convention to avoid getting too high after
partner's third-seat overbid.

Support Double to avoid a ridiculous Moysian when
partner lacks suit quality.

An English pair adopted a relay system in the 1980s.
After a few too many failing grand slams, they added a
special 4NT asking bid to their relays.  The responses
were:

5C = don't trust my bidding beyond the first round
5D = I might have got most of the bids right
5H = I am optimistic that I bid correctly
5S = I memorised the system notes last night

(For those interested in an easy-to-remember relay
system, I will email my Symmetric Relay notes on
request.)
