Since mid-nineteenth century when Charles Goren popularized the
point -count system of hand evaluation and bridge bidding, a system
that became known widely as "Standard American," there have been
significant advances in the art of bidding, advances that have been
time-tested and proven effective. Unfortunately "Standard American"
did not keep pace.
Early point-count standards undervalue many hands. Furthermore,
many traditional bidding rules became obsolete and fell by the
wayside as new ideas were created, time-tested and adopted by the
most innovative players. Prominent among the new methods are
five-card majors, limit raises, preemptive two-level openers, the
Stayman convention, and a reconstruction of the entire notrump
bidding scheme.
Standard American 21 presents an integrated, modern contract bridge
bidding system. The entire system can be adopted quite readily by
players of intermediate skills and beyond. Here for the first time
bridge players have the tools to achieve real precision bidding
from part-score through game and slam.
