*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
This group has been quiet for a while so how about a new topic to 
throw around?

What conventions, systems, quirks, etc. have you and your partner(s)
found to work especially well, especially poor, etc.  If the conventions
are not widely known and used  (i.e. Acol bids), please describe your
system and its advantage or disadvantage as the case may be.

  From reading this group for some time I get the feeling that there are some
very advanced players on it.  I have what may seem to them to be a naive
query.  I'd like a brief introduction to precision bidding.  How 'bout that to
get some discussion going on this net.

	The best introduction to the Precision system that I know
is "Precision Bidding and Precision Play" by Terence Reese.  The book
explains the system beautifully, as a matter of fact I know of some
novices who learned how to play bridge from this book.
	The book to avoid is a book on precision by Charles Goren.

	I played precision in a steady partnership for about two years and
did well with it.  Just talking things out help to set up auctions
and anticpate situations.  A system is the most helpful when youget
information from what partner didn't bid.

	Quick Outline

	All bids with the exception of one club are delimited. With a
wide number of variations 1 diamond to 1 spade show 11-15 HCPs and the
diamond can be short. 1 notrump is 13-15, 2 clubs is 11-15 and a club
suit, and 2 diamonds can be Precision, 4-4-1-4 or 4-4-0-5.
An alternative is Roman with the singlton or void in any suit.
Two hearts or spades is weak.
	One club is the stong bid showing at least 16 points or the
equivalent in playing strength.
	The books provide the best guide.
