POWER SYSTEM
The Power system (Ron Klinger) is based on a forcing 1C opening (11+ HCP) and a 17-20 HCP 1NT opening.
The 1D, 1H and 1S opening all show a 5card suit. Power knows 2 special responses to opening bids:
• 2C: 10-12, invite without 4M (opener rebids 2D with any minimum)
• 2D: 13+, any GF
Responder’s 2nd round 2C bid is also an artificial game try with 10-12 points.
The final aspect of Power is that after a GF and a major fit is established, the cheapest NT bid is RKCB (Roman Key Card Blackwood).
