2/1 Game Force |
A presentation of two-over-one game force bidding for serious students of the game. |
The HHI Bridge Club is offering 2/1 Game Force Bidding as a part of its 2006 Fall Training Program. This course is intended for the intermediate to advanced player who is ready to incorporate advanced bidding skills into their game. This class will teach 2/1 Game Force and the Forcing Notrump system. Two‑over‑one is fast becoming the standard bidding system for ACBL District 7 and the Mid-Atlanta Bridge Conference (MABC). This course covers the concepts of modern bridge bidding including: hand evaluation, opening bids, opener’s rebids to show shape, forcing bids, 2/1 bids, 1Nt Forcing bid and rebids, and modern suit raises with a bonus class on bidding with fits.
This
course is based primarily on the 2/1 book Standard Bridge Bidding for the
21st Century by Max Hardy, the master on 2/1 bidding
.
Everyone should have a copy of Hardy in their bridge library. Mike Lawrence
says, “This is a necessary book since the current material for new players on
2/1 is pretty well hidden.” The course will be supplemented with material from
the book 25 Steps to Learning 2/1 by Paul Thurston. Both texts can be
obtained from any book store or bridge supplier. Detailed class notes
with a summary and sample hands will be provided each week for study and review.
The course will be held on Fridays from 9:30 am to 11:30 am covering 8 classes beginning Friday, September 22nd and ending Friday, December 8th. Price for the 8 weeks is $90. In addition, a bonus class (December 15th) will be conducted as a make-up and class review, or a special presentation on bidding with fits.
