| 156 | Fix | Backstory: "The roots of modern systems over opener’s strong reverse are Ingberman, lebensohl, and blackout. People use these names somewhat interchangeably, with cross-pollination and revision of methods. I deliberately omitted these names from the text, simply talking about the slow-down bid. The choices in this book do not cover all the issues. This tangle is complicated! Look for an upcoming article on 3NT.XYZ." Many details about those methods have been removed from the Backstory, to reappear in the article. |
