Download or read book Bridge Bidding written by Nicolae Sfetcu and published by Nicolae Sfetcu. This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This e-book present some of the most important bridge bidding systems used used in duplicate bridge tournaments, detailing the most known bridge bidding system, Standard American Yellow Card, by using a logical sequential order for openings, answers, competitive bids and defensive play in order to help the players during the games. Much of the complexity in bridge arises from the difficulty of arriving at a good final contract in the auction. A bidding system in contract bridge is the set of agreements and understandings assigned to calls and sequences of calls used by a partnership, and includes a full description of the meaning of each treatment and convention. Standard American Yellow Card is a specific set of partnership agreements and conventions, using Standard American as a base. Standard American Yellow Card is a very specific collection of agreements, which can, of course, be modified and augmented by partnership agreement. In practical use, the term is often mis-used to refer to Standard American in general, or it could refer to a system that used SAYC as a base and made additional augmentations or changes to the base agreements.

Book Synopsis Modified Standard American Yellow Card by : Joe Megill
Download or read book Modified Standard American Yellow Card written by Joe Megill and published by M-Sayc. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Contract Bridge League started with Standard American, added competitive conventions, and then coloured their convention card yellow to produce the Standard American Yellow Card (SAYC). Internet players claim, "SAYC" for fast agreement on a good system. Modifications to SAYC (M-SAYC) produce a 21st-century bidding system that can successfully compete against the advanced systems. The theme throughout is FOCUS ON THE PRIORITIES: Major suits first, then No Trump, and minor suits as a last resort. Separated into a series of eleven lessons, this course is designed to take a beginner, novice, intermediate or Social Bridge advanced player on a journey through the modern approach for competitive bidding. M-SAYC is the next, higher-level bidding system for any Easybridge student and serves as a compliment. A beginner's pace is a lesson per week, but for Easybridge graduates and intermediate players or above, readiness will occur much sooner, possibly in just the days to read. This course describes its bidding approaches to a detail not seen in any other publication. The thorough, logical and accurate explanations create a reference for years to come.

Book Synopsis The Flaws in Standard American Bridge by : Ken Casey
Download or read book The Flaws in Standard American Bridge written by Ken Casey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to highlight the flaws in Standard American bidding, i.e. the SAYC system. The book discusses the major failures of SAYC, namely the failure of the ACBL to adopt the Bergen point-count system, the failure to simplify reverses, the failure to find a 20-21p bid for all hands, and the failure to adopt the Casey-Jacoby Transfer convention and the Casey Rebid convention. In addition, the book points out numerous minor failures such as the failure to find a means of bidding a direct game, the failure of SAYC to require takeout doubles to have a four-card major, and the failure to adopt Minorwood, a six-keycard kickback convention. The book also points out the ACBL’s failure to clarify certain issues, such as the failure to clarify O’s reply to R’s two-level response, the failure to clarify cuebids, and the failure to clarify Stopper-Ask bids. The book provides a solution for all these problems in a new system called Precision Diamond.

Book Synopsis The Intermediate American Bidding System by : Chris Hasney
Download or read book The Intermediate American Bidding System written by Chris Hasney and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006-07-12 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview of the American Bridge Series The American Bridge Series is designed as a sequential set of bidding courses, suitable for self-study or classroom-style study under the guidance of a professional bridge teacher. Volumes I through III include declarer play and defense skills as they relate to the bidding skills taught in each text. Volume IV is reserved for true experts; thus, declarer play and defense lessons would be an insult and are not included. The entire series takes about five years of study and practice to complete. Volume I, The Basic American Bidding System was written for beginners and for social players who need to brush-up on basic bidding skills prior to tackling modern bidding methods. It features 5-card major suit opening bids, strong twos, and some basics of Forcing and Non-Forcing Stayman, Blackwood, Gerber, and few other things designed to form the framework for further study. Volume II, The Intermediate American Bidding System makes the transition to modern methods including weak two openings. It teaches all of the pieces of "Standard" American in a way that integrates all of the varied forms of same. Don't be thrown by the term "intermediate." Many duplicate players think that they have reached that level when they can no longer play in novice games. Not so. "Intermediate," as defined by the authors, can vary from folks with zero ACBL masterpoints to 2500 masterpoints. It's not the points that count, it's the skill level. Volume III, The Advanced American Bidding System presumes a complete understanding and skill with all of the material in Volume II. However, some of the Volume II material is repeated for intended redundancy, since the authors suspect that many folks who shouldn't be attempting to study Volume III will do so anyway. After all, "I'm a Life Master, I must be Advanced." The authors suggest that anyone not comfortable playing in Flight A at an ACBL regional or national tournament, or the World Bridge Federation (WBF) or other governing body equivalent thereof avoid purchase and study of Volume III until they have mastered all that is taught in Volume II. Volume IV, The Expert American Bidding System, (NOT YET RELEASED) presumes two years' experience with the bidding techniques taught in Volume III, and expert declarer play and defense skills. This is not a "Mom and Pop" book. It is for those who wish to successfully compete in such ACBL events as Flight A Grand National Teams, the Blue Ribbon Pairs, the Life Master Pairs, the Spingold, Vanderbilt, and Reisinger teams, etc., and International events like the Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup, The London Times Pairs, the McCallan, etc. It features 4-card majors, the TEAS responses to no trump openings, weak no trumps, and a variety of other bidding methods which will get bidders to the optimum place but will require expert declarer play or defensive skills to maximize results. All four books emphasize sound, disciplined bidding and an underlying philosophy of "You bid your cards, I'll bid mine, we'll get to the right spot." By the time students complete study and practice of Volume III, they should be able to know what cards partner holds almost to the spot at the conclusion of an auction. In fact, Jerry and one of his partners were once accused of cheating when they got cocky and did this after an auction. The comment was: "How can you know what cards your partner holds?" Jerry's answer: "Isn't that the whole point of the bidding?"
