===== Namyats =====

A 4\C or 4\D opening shows a self-sufficient \H/\S suit, and 8/8.5 tricks unvulnerable/vulnerable.

We also play it as an overcall after opponent opened a suit on the one level: e.g. 1\H-(4\D)

===== After strong 1C =====

==== Kokish 2H ====

* 1\C-1\D-2\H: Either a strong hand with a \H suit, or a strong balanced 25\+ HCP hand.
    *  2\S: Responder would bid it with almost any hands
      * 2NT: 25\+ hcp, balanced hand. System is on, same after 2NT opening.
      * Any other: Strong \H hand, natural continuation.

==== Extension to control responses after 1NT ====

* 1\C-1x (forcing, natural)-1NT: Control asking
    * 3x: 0-2 controls, 7\+ card suit
    * 3y: 0-2 controls, at least 5-5 in the two suits.

==== Extension to strength showing responses after 1NT ====

* 1\C-1\S-1NT
    * 2\H: 15 HCP, artificial
    * 2\S/3\C/3\D/3\H: 16\+ HCP, cheapest 4 card suit
