Hi there fellow bridge players.

In contract bridge, if the opposition opens one diamond and we don't ask what the one diamond means, is the opener's partner allowed to offer information about what the one diamond call means without us asking? In our situation, opener's partner said "That means at least four diamonds". I said she is not allowed to offer information unless we ask. An argument quickly ensued. I would appreciate it if someone could set us straight.

The short answer, NO you should not be offering explanations of your partners call unless asked.
1D showing 4 does not require an alert or an announcement.


I'll leave the long answer to mycroft :)
