blackshoe Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I would take "opening strength" as meaning "the strength required for opening at the 1-level in standard methods" and I would think that should be non-controversial.Too many undefined terms. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Too many undefined terms. :(Yet somehow most people manage to understand it just fine. BTW, no dictionary actually provides satisfactory definitions of words, unless the user already knows the language. Because they just define each word in terms of other words, which you might not know, either. If you keep following the definitions, in many cases I think you'll find yourself back at the word you started with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandakh Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I would take "opening strength" as meaning "the strength required for opening at the 1-level in standard methods" and I would think that should be non-controversial.It certainly should not given that this is an ACBL thread and the phrase is used in the Conventional Wisdom series (Part 14 - Opening Preempts).
