- A point of curiosity
- this has me thinking of fun story from fun friday night club game in the 1970s we played DEALER-specific systems if i dealt, we played my system if partner dealt, we played his system if opponent dealt, we played their system absolutely illegal by acbl rules - including one of our ...
- A point of curiosity
- Jan already mentioned Grue-Moss as one half of a forcing club pair their other half playing a version of 2/1 in 1st/2nd/3rd when vul the first pair that i saw play 2 different systems depending upon vulnerability was jassem-martens splitting between Precision and Polish Club. partial synapse ...
