hrothgar Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 This might be a fairly interesting project. 100 pairs is a large enough sample that we can potentially exlcude the usual silliness about who is [or is not] the world's number 1 pair. At the very least, it would be extremely interesting to try to correlate geographical location and bidding systems. Probably the easiest way to proceed is to try to come up with a rough consensus regarding which pairs currently rank in the top 100. Once this is done, it shouldn't be too difficult to determine their basic style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luis Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Hi, This is just the beginning of a list, please feel free to add pairs/correct my errors and comment if you want.

Balicki - Zmudinski: Polish club, 5 card majors. Strong NT. Specialized 2s. Hackett - Hackett: 4 card majors, natural methods, light openings. Weak NT. A system usually called "the science" Blaskett - Bruun: 5 card majors, dual 1c opening (nat or 15-19 bal). Weak NT. Bochi - Duboin: 5 card majors, NT range upon vuln (9-12, 12-14 or 15-17). Artifical responses. de Weis - Muller: 4 card majors, Strong NT Gromov - Petrunin: Precision, 5 card majors 12-15 or 15-17 NT Lauria - Versace: Natural with 5 card majors and strong NT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
