Example #20 - Final showdown

No game is on, so what's the problem?

You may wonder if E-W had any agreement about 3C being forcing or not.
We don't know - but it's clear West intended 3C to be forcing and anyway ... who would pass 3C playing with a pick-up partner?

Aruf doesn't need conventions and agreements. In fact, he would often be better off without partners altogether - but even BBO management is unlikely to grant him that privilege.
Remember the board where Aruf replied 2NT to his partner's 2C opening and claimed it was a transfer to H? This happens to be the same partner ...
