Free Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Has anyone ever heard of this system? It's from Tony Forester, but I can't find a writeup, summary or opening bid structure. Does anyone have more information about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 A friend of mine has notes on it (but I don't see him much). He got them at a dealer in an European championship. I do remember bits of the opening structure. pass = any 11-151C = strong 16+1D = fertilizer 0-10(?), hand not suitable for other bid1M = 0-2 or 5+ in that major, 7-11 hcp.1/2NT = 15-17/20-21, may have 5 major.2C+ = can't remember.

Clinch Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 It used to be possible to get full system notes from International Popular Bridge Monthly (IPBM, no longer with us). You might try contacting Brian Senior, its last editor - you can find his email address by looking at his profile on OKBridge where he is brianace. I don't know his handle on BBO. The system was played by Forrester with John Armstrong in the Bermuda Bowl in 1987. Unfortunately, there are relatively few insights in the World Championship Book, which was not covered by Kokish.

hrothgar Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think that Brian Meadow (Brianm on BBO) has notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 I have the full system notes, but they are hard copy rather than electronic. This system is a little dated now Frederick. I'll type up the full opening structure for you when I have time and answer any questions you might have.
