LET’S PLAY BRIDGE

Please scroll down the page to see the screen where you choose your bidding system

Choose your basic bidding system.

• Standard American strong 1 NT; either a 16-18 point range, or 15-17 point range.
• Standard weak 1 NT. 12-14 point range
• Terry’s unique bidding systems that often pinpoint the strength of the hand more accurately.

The complexity of the offensive bidding system can be easily increased.

• You may leave it a standard system as shown in the example below.

• Or you many increase the complexity. For example, if bidding a strong 1NT, you can add
• Artificial 2C bid,
• A responder’s point count (RPC) of your choice
• Inverted minor bids,
• Splinter bids
• Roman keycard,
• Ogust bids.
• The response of partner to a strong 1NT can also be made more complex. In this case, a Stayman bid takes on a new meaning and you add Jacoby transfers, 2NT transfers, Texas transfers, etc.

The complexity of the defensive bidding system can be easily increased

• You may choose the strength of jump two bids (weak or intermediate).
• You may choose to leave the remainder as standard responses.
• Or you may choose a more complex defense bidding system. In this case, it is geared to whether your opponent is bidding a weak or strong 1NT. It includes special doubles, Michael’s cue bid, and the unusual no trump, etc.

Notice all the help buttons that aid in understanding the options available
