Yes, "Benjamin Twos" is the name of the method where a 2C opener shows an unbalanced 19-21 point hand. Partner responds 2D with all hands of less than 8 points. If she has 8+HCP, she bids a 5+ suit, or 2NT.

∙ 15y ago81/2 tricks --not vulnerable 9 tricks if vulnerable If your partner opens 2clubs and you hold 20ish points, most likely he is opening based on 81/2 running tricks. No special convention should be necessary for your reply, as you are in a game forcing situation, and are in control. Bid your normal response convention, 2d waiting, steps (not so hot), controls (my choice) or other. if he bids nt, go to 7, if he bids a suit, go to blackwood. If you are familiar with exclusion blackwood, that would prevent a mishap. You could also reply to his suit bid, by bidding 1st round controls.

How many people do you need to play bridge?
Four players are necessary for a game of bridge, but after the bidding only three actually play. The players sitting opposite each other are partners. After the bidding, only one of the partners who won the contract gets to play. The other is the 'dummy' and lays his cards face up on the table. The 'declarer' plays his own hand and the dummy's hand, too.
