Bridge Base Advanced

After reading the responses to the question should the panel include the "optional" serious 3NT (and by extension, LTTC) in their replies, I have decided the answer should be yes. The reason is fairly simple. We needed to decide if it was on or off (for sure) to make the answers make sense. But by turning it on, we get to see when the pro's would consider 3NT NOT to be serious even after a major fit is found (if such situation could exist), and how they would judge when to use this convention this convention and when not to use it. Since these last two issues are something I am interested in (so you can imagine some future borderline hands in this area), I thought making this addition would be a good idea.

 

IF last train to clarksville is something you are not familar with, you might want to read this (part II of improving 2/1 by Fred) article .... What is last train to clarksville

 

New BPO poll will be posted in ~12 hours. Votes must be four days (~96 hours) after posting of the poll.

Inquiry's summary is very good.

But did anybody make a complete write-up of the system ? Is it available please.

How did the system develop further ? What is the relationship with the CCs on BBO: BBO Advanced (2/1=GF) and BBO Advanced 1.3. ?

 

Many thanks for your help

The BBO advanced system is appealing to me, more so than the last time I checked the BWS system.

 

However, may I suggest the label change of "Bergen" to "Reverse Bergen", as that is the method in which 3 di is the mixed raise. In Bergen the mixed raise is clubs, not what u r specifying.

 

Also, a minor spelling thing: quizzes, not quizes.
