Anyway, a lot of Europeans who do play game forcing 2/1s have retained this use of 2nt showing balanced with extras and the balanced minimum rebidding 2M. I think this is clearly superior if “15-17 balanced with a 5M” is a possible 1M opening, since the American alternative of rebidding 3nt with this hand type is simply awful. But of course if you always open 1nt with this hand type then the split range 2nt makes some sense.

Almost ten years in Switzerland (and a couple appearances on the Swiss National mixed team) isn’t enough I guess? Yes we are still in Europe despite not being in the EU.

I would guess Mike is referring to me.
The plan is to be there for 3 months next year. :)

I reposted Adam’s reply as it explains the logic behind the approach beautifully.
Is your “with extras” a solid 15+ and how do the Swiss handle a 6 card major?
