Bridge World Standard

From Contract Bridge

Bridge World Standard is a system maintained by Edgar Kaplan of The Bridge World magazine. It is periodically updated by surveying many American experts.

The basic strategy is five-card major openings, strong 1NT opening, strong 2♣, and weak 2-bids. The system includes many conventions.
