ITALIAN STYLE CUE BIDS

This style of cue bids, developed by the Italian Blue team, has now become the norm amongst tournament players. Below the level of 4NT, you treat first- and second- round controls equally.

West’s 4 shows first- or second- round control in diamonds (ace, void, king or singleton) and denies first- or second- round control in clubs. East, if lacking first- or second- round control of clubs knows immediately that a slam is not a good proposition.
