Mylläri convention
Mylläri is a bridge convention used to intervene over opponents' 1NT opening. Typically it only applies if the opponents are using a strong 1NT opening (where 14 points or more is the minimum). Its invention is attributed to Jay Barron and is named after Finnish Bridge player Maria Mylläri.
