But just tweaking traditional bidding is not the solution, as it cannot and never will achieve satisfactory results, as it is based on a \"dialogue\" by which each partner describes part of his hand to the other, and that partial description is hopelessly inadequate and insufficient to reach the optimal contract.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe solution is elsewhere and requires rethinking the way partners communicate. The dialogue needs to be replaced by a \"monologue,\" by which one partner asks the other to fully describe his hand through successive, economical relay bids. In this book, the author presents a new bidding methodology which fully integrates the relay process into a bidding method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the Optimal Hand Evaluation point count, it counts opening hands in HLD points and opens 1 strong Club hands of 18+ HLD points, which limits every other opening to 17 HLD points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe method reverses the traditional process of using jumps to describe maximum hands by using \"braking\" bids to describe minimum hands.
