This book incorporates the 2/1 Game Force bidding system for opening majors and the Casey Simplified Precision Club system for opening minors. This book simplifies the traditional Precision Club system by eliminating many of its unnecessary complications. You will only need to add one new convention, the opening 1 bid, to your Standard American system. This system enables the responder to know the opener’s point count within a 2p range after the opener’s rebid. In addition, the Casey Overcall will improve your part scores by hampering the opponents from finding their spade fit. The book will also help you reach a new level by improving your slam bidding. The advantage of using the Casey Bidding System is that you will open the hand 12.6% more often than with Standard American. Ken has published more than 15 bridge books.
