For the last 10 months, I've been playing 2/1 GF, with Walsh responses to 1C- opening bids, i.e. responding in 4 card major by-passing diamonds in weaker hands, and opener rebidding 1N possibly concealing 4 card majors in most balanced hands, and that rebid of major shows as a rule unbalanced hand. It seems authorities like Lawrence, Hardy and Bergen all in their writings were proponents of this approach. Recently, an OKB expert, told me that Walsh responses is not the way to play good bridge... I just want to hear some discussion on this topic. Has there been a trend back to up the line bidding over 1C- opening bids that I have not been aware of? SL
