He would play a home brewed 3½ card minor system with the following gadgets:

 

1. Gerber.

2. Reverse Gerber.

3. Flannery.

4. Reverse Flannery.

5. Capp.

6. Reverse Capp.

7. Fishbein.

8. Reverse Fishbein.

9. Reverse White House (he invented that one himself last night).

10. Air Force 1. *)

11. Middle from 2 small.

 

And he would refuse to play with anyone who doesn't play reverse White House. What is the White House convention you may ask. Here it is:

 

2 is a pre-empt in any suit at the 1-level. Then he reversed it to 1 as a pre-empt in any suit at the 2-level. The convention is only used at white colours, hence the name.

 

*) Air Force 1 requires that partner holds 4 aces. You open 7NT on

 

KQx

KQx

KQx

KQJx

 

The sublime thing about the convention is that responder bids NT at the appropriate level depending on how many aces he has.

 

Roland

 

P.S. Oh, and I forgot Stay-man. It seems impossible to get rid of that man ;)

what do you think GW would play

 

I bet he would pre empt alot and ask questions later

 

He would probably play the Preemptive Strike system and it would work a lot better than the Obama System, which is "Wait until the opponents find their best spot and then sacrifice", and has never won an international match.

He would cut the requirements to bid or play at all for the top 1% of the players, and have the rest play a knockout round-robin of "War". When the finals roll around, he claims victory, while standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier, dressed as a member of the 1960 Blue Team.

 

Nice system.
