Control Precision 1

Marshall McLuhan famusly observed that "The medium is the message".

 

Forums - like this one - are designed for interactive exchanges. And, given human nature, it is ridiculous to expect that no one will disagree with your theories.

 

If you want a format where you get to have a one-sided conversation then you need to chose some other way to communicate. (for example, a blog)

If you want a two way conversation where everyone agrees with you then you either need to change human nature or buy some "followers"

 

“If men would consider not so much wherein they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling.” ~ Joseph Addison

 

“A lot of arguments can be avoided if we simply stop and think about our response before we say it.” ~ Charles Harper

 

 

 

“The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

 

 

I wish to continue on Open Forum thank you, as I believe I am contributing to a Universal Language. I therefore need to be open to scrutiny and need to answer key questions.

 

I am simply asking for politeness, manners, and to stay with the subject. :rolleyes:

 

Thank You

What exactly do you consider "the subject" here? Most people would consider polite comments on "Control Precision" in a thread entitled "Control Precision 1" to be on topic. Your responses to such comments on the other hand have been downright rude, speaking of posters "playing with themselves" and twice referring to their "creaming their pants", not to mention issuing threats. I realise that English is not your native language and I have put some of this rudeness down to that but when you start making comments like this it is really necessary to say something. Trust me, if hrothgar wants to be impolite you will notice; up to now everyone has been extremely civil given the tone you have struck.

Simply ask the right questions at the right time, in the right feed, if you don't have a point to prove. But if you would rather open discussion to other matters do so on another feed please, I have provided you with one. Sometimes, my answers will refer to later notes, as CP+ already exists, however it is far more complicated, and I would rather focus on new interested parties for Precision, and those currently understanding Wei as well. If you want to indulge in unnecessary criticism in the wrong feed, you will get the replies you deserve.

I would prefer to end this argument right now, and get on with it. Others are waiting. :angry:

Is the 'CP' part what my now destroyed brain thinks it is?

Bidding at Four and Five Levels

 

Control Bidding in Competition

 

When competing at the higher levels, all the major decisions should go to the Control Bidder, since he is the one in Control. Blind Bidder should avoid bidding, unless he has a Blind Mad Void Licence.

Control Bidder should naturally look at the state of vulnerability and the game situation before coming to a decision.

The Control Bidder can then decide if the contract can be made, or whether to sacrifice a bid to reduce the score damage.

Double by Control Bidder over 2NT is always Penalties and must be respected by the Blind Bidder. Double by the Blind Bidder over 2NTis also a Penalty Double showing good values in the opponents suit. However, a Blind Double is NOT forcing on the Control Bidder, who may pull the double at any time should he deem it necessary.

Control Bidder must retain control at all times.

Assuming away your problems by asserting that the Control Bidder should do the right thing is an expression of hope not a prescription for success

Control bidder = Captain

Blind bidder = Crew

[smerriman]

Control bidder = Captain

Blind bidder = Crew

System = Titanic?

[Bermy]

System = Titanic?

 

 

errrrr, but does not every floating ship have a Captain and a Crew? You can play against our battleship anytime you like :lol: :lol:

[Zelandakh]

System = Titanic?

System = Precisionified LIO. Captain and Crew were the terms adopted by Gerard back in the day.

 

On the last entry, not having a takeout double available at the 3+ level looks to be completely unworkable. Again, an example of what to do with a classical takeout hand would be beneficial.

You do have a 3 level take out double after a pre-emtive overcall, if that's what you are on about, bidding after overcall has its own detail.

 

As for Control/Blind I became sick of always having to take control from my partner, simply because I was the more experienced player. So I devised a method she could understand.

What is LIO?

No I am not open to new ideas

 

You keep saying this, so why are you posting in a public forum Is designed for discussion? Would it not have made more sense to just give a link to a document setting out the system in full?

Not quite so simple, as I have many formatting problems to solve, and want to post as much as possible as soon as possible.

 

Public forum opens me to public scrutiny from my peers and displays my tolerance for learners, I want and need that.

New ideas must and will be listened to, and even incorporated if good. However I must check first that it fits within the overall structure of the language.

 

I will compile a single file when done. B-)
