RKC Minorwood - Switch feature

Roman Key Cards Minorwood has a unique feature, not used in the RKC Blackwood or RKC Voidwood versions.
In Minorwood the key card asker can be switched from one player to his Partner.

After 1♣ - 3♣ - 4♣ - ?       - 4♦ = "Partner, you show ME your key cards !"

Or after 1♣ - 4♣ - ?       - 4♦ = "Partner, you show ME your key cards !"

Irrespective whether this switch is used or not the standard replies are :
  - 4♥ = 1 or 4 keycards
  - 4♠ = 0 or 3 key cards
- 4NT = 2 key cards without the trump Queen
  - 5♣ = 2 key cards with the trump Queen

Likewise after 1♦ - 2♦ - 4♦ - ?       - 4♥ = "Partner, you show ME your key cards !"

Irrespective whether this switch is used or not the standard replies are :
  - 4♠ = 1 or 4 key cards
- 4NT = 0 or 3 key cards
  - 5♣ = 2 key cards without the trump Queen
  - 5♦ = 2 key cards wit the trump Queen
In other words, the bid immediately after the 4♣ or 4♦ RKC ask is reserved for a possible switch, and therefore not used as a key card response !


To keep it simple this switch feature is not used in these Solo bidding exercises.
Therefor after - 4♣ - 4♦ = 1 or 4 key cards.
