2/1 with weak NT, roman carding and UDA.
Will take on anybody with that.

Any system that respects the principles of bidding is good. You just need to sit down and work out its weak points with pard.

The best system is in the eye of the beholder... :)

Results from a prefered/chosen system depends highly on partnership agreements, individual ability and memory and judgement...

I pretty much juggle between 2/1 and precision.. B) ...have settled for system of choice - precision 2/1 gameforce and change gadgets as per partnership...the two co-existing seems groovy.. B)

It also helps if you can pick up almost anybody an play..I guess natural systems are winners there... :)

Pick up a partner and play has NOTHING to do with a good system, not even close to the "BEST" system:

Now, which of the system is the best in your opinion with respect to the following aspects:
1. Accuracy to bid to game (and stop short of poor game)
2. Accuracy to bid to slam (and stop short of bad slam)
3. Competitiveness (and immunity vs opp's intervention when strong)
4. Difficulty for the defense vs your contract (correct declarer position, unexposed declarer hand strength and distribution to the opps)
5. Easier to grasp and lesser chance for partnership misunderstanding
6. The effectiveness on a whole.


If you compare a natural system with any precision-type system with some science in it, you can't compete in slambidding imo. So how can a natural system be the big winner? What makes these systems soooo much better than artificials to make them the "winners"?? B)

This thread is not about the system you should learn to play online with everybody, this is about the system which beats all others...

Yes, that's exactly what I am looking for: A system that can beat all others assuming equal level of declarer play and defense ability.

Well, when you find one, let us know, so we can all go home. It's like asking for the best line in chess.

I believe that relay systems are inherently superior to non-relay system. The problem is, their complexity is staggering, especially when you start making rules about interference. If you play relay and you don't screw up at least once a session, I'm impressed. And relay simply isn't enough better than a standard system to counter those mistakes.

Not a difinitive answer, but I finished up a Bidding System Design Contest over on rgb which got a lot of attention.

There were a wide variety of entrants inclusing several strong pass systems. The method I used is one way of determining the strength of a system in itself without regard to partnership familiarity or harmony.
