The 2 over 1 Bidding System

A taste of 2/1: The course is designed for experienced players who want a taste of a modern bidding system played by many top tournament players the world over.  2/1 is a development of Standard American and is thus a five card major, strong no trump system.  Some knowledge of such a system will be assumed.  The defining feature of 2/1 is that a two level response to an opening bid is forcing to game.  Defining a game forcing sequence at a low level increases space for the exchange of information, making it easier to reach the correct game contract or close slams.
