The 1C opening is somewhat of an Achilles' heel, but nothing that can't be remedied with some good agreements about coping with interference. I would take it any day over any systems with wide opening ranges (like 2/1)...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936560582661359996.post-18630307421700130612011-05-03T19:49:58.956-04:002011-05-03T19:49:58.956-04:00Does anyone think Precision system can work with o...Does anyone think Precision system can work with opening 4 card Majors , instead of 5 ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936560582661359996.post-53608656089103178462011-01-14T13:36:43.649-05:002011-01-14T13:36:43.649-05:00Adam,

I have been playing strong club for 10 years and have had only 1 bad result due to interference and it was because we were not playing PDI (pass double inversion).Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248788491863145960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936560582661359996.post-78396821484046491662010-12-23T19:50:53.183-05:002010-12-23T19:50:53.183-05:00To my mind, vulnerability is the driving factor of...To my mind, vulnerability is the driving factor of what makes a system effective. When NV, and especially when NV on Vul, then a strong club is great because the opponents have fewer opportunities to intervene in the strong auctions, and the limited opening bids allow you to bid obstructively when the opponents have the cards.<br /><br />When vul, my preference is for a sound, but natural style. The focus should be on our own constructive bidding. We must be prepared for aggressive intervention efforts, and we have less room to go minus. So the focus is on finding our fits, overcoming intervention, etc.Andrew Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877269341251860217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936560582661359996.post-65058029546892597232010-12-19T05:27:41.460-05:002010-12-19T05:27:41.460-05:00"Without these problems, in a constructive au..."Without these problems, in a constructive auction, a strong club is clearly best. However, with these problems"<br /><br />Again I disagree. CLEARLY the best system without intervention is a strong pass system. No doubt whatsoever about this. I still believe strong pass is the best anyway, but ridiculous legislators have tried to ban it out of existence.<br />Polish Club is FAR superior to 2/1. Caroline Club is a good canape style system, as is The Science.Balickinoreply@blogger.com
