2/1 on Steroids by Daniel Solow
Modern bidding systems have evolved over the past hundred years, starting with four-card majors and culminating in 2/1. Yet you can still encounter the occasional deficiency — such as an ambiguous bid or ending up in the wrong contract. When this happened to Daniel Solow, he wondered if it was possible to fix some of the issues he encountered by developing a system from scratch using all the effective bidding principles that have been developed over time, and the answer is... yes (but with some tradeoffs)! Join the author on a bridge cruise. Who knows, perhaps you will decide to adopt their famous 3♣ Convention!
