Re: Insufficient Stayman

I think West can always accept the insufficient bid
for whatever ulterior reason

Players are not supposed to waive rectification on their own; proper procedure is to ask the Director to waive the rectification.  (In this case, the Director would probably have allowed South to correct his bid without any restrictions, even if South's correct response was no longer 3C Stayman, or if 3C had a different meaning such as Puppet Stayman.)

Dealer (North) opens 2NT, promising 21-22 hcp balanced. Responder (South) has severely limited vision (hence holds a disability pension), so believes that North has opened a 12-14 1NT, therefore responds 2C insufficient Stayman.

Out of sympathy for South's disability West uses Law 27A to accept the insufficient 2C, and West then passes. Has West infracted the Law 72A "chief object is to obtain a higher score"?

Best wishes,
