New Minor Forcing (NMF), is a contract bridge bidding convention used to find a 5-3 or 4-4 major suit fit after a specific sequence of bids in which opener has rebid one notrump. The convention is triggered by responder at his second turn by an artificial bid of two in an unbid minor; it requires that he hold five cards in the major he has previously bid and an unlimited hand ranging in value from at least game invitational strength (11 or more points) to that sufficient to have interest in slam; he may also hold four cards in the other major. Accordingly, there are six bidding sequences in which the New Minor Forcing bid may be applied:
Sequence 1
Opener
Responder
1♣
1♥
1NT
2♦!
Sequence 2
Opener
Responder
1♣
1♠
1NT
2♦!
Sequence 3
Opener
Responder
1♦
1♥
1NT
2♣!
Sequence 4
Opener
Responder
1♦
1♠
1NT
2♣!
Sequence 5
Opener
Responder
1♥
1♠
1NT
2♣!
Sequence 6
Opener
Responder
1♥
1♠
1NT
2♦!
Auction notes: 1. The opponents are silent throughout. 2. The ! indicates that the bid is alertable.
The New Minor Forcing bid by responder is forcing for one round and asks partner for further information on his shape and strength with the primary objectives of determining if opener has three-card support for responder's five-card major and/or if there is a 4-4 fit in hearts; other major suit fits are also investigated.
In sequences 5 and 6, the NMF bid is made in the stronger minor suit. A jump by responder in an unbid minor after a 1NT rebid by opener is weak and to play.
The bid of the new minor must be alerted by opener.
