[net.rec.bridge] Blue Team vs. Precision

unicorn (03/24/83)

I read several entries about playing Precision, which was the
second real system I ever played.  Its one advantage over the
system I now espouse is that just about everyone can pick it
up rapidly.

After playing Italian Blue Team Club (ala Bob Hamman), however,
I'm hooked for life.  The one drawback is that you must have a
steady partner (and a GOOD partner), for the system is full of
inuendos that only an established partnership can handle.

As to its success:  my partner and I have won three free trips
in the Grand National Pairs competition playing it, as well as
many sectional and regional events.

If anyone is interested in a net discussion (debate?) of its
superiority, I am open to attack.

  I'm ready for a discussion, but first you should explain to those of us
who are relatively new to the world of competitive bridge exactly what is
"Italian Blue Team Club", how is it different from Precision, and why you think
it is better.
