Abstract. We introduce a new weak variation of diamond that is meant to guess only the branches of a Kurepa tree. We demonstrate that this variation is considerably weaker than diamond by proving it is compatible with Martin’s axiom. We then prove that this principle is nontrivial by showing it may consistently fail.
