[blml] Another L27

[Gampas at aol.com]

Director: How can I help you?
 
Beginner A: The auction has just gone 1C - (1S) - 1H
 
Director: Why did you bid 1H, Sir? Did you not see the 1S bid?
 
Beginner B: Yes, but I thought hearts ranked above spades ... I forgot  they 
didn't.
 
Director: Hmm ... It looks like the IB had no systemic meaning whatsoever  
(bids below 1S are not on your convention card), therefore you can  substitute 
any call you wish. Other than a jump bid. As 1C - (1S) - 1H does not  exist you 
do not have to make a bid which shows four or more hearts and  responding 
values.
 
Beginner B: Ah, excellent, so I can bid 1NT.
 
Director: Yes, but the fact that you bid 1H because you thought hearts  
ranked above spades is UI to your partner.
 
Beginner B: What is UI?
 
Director: Let me explain.[Half an hour elapses ....]
