Agica - Agica system notes

♣ ♦ ♥ ♠

1. We need a good structure over 1M - 2NT
2. 1♦ - 2♣ – http://www.gg.caltech.edu/~jeff/system/kokish.html perfect for weak NT
3. Gazzilli write-up

We play an light initial action 2/1 GF system, with 1NT forcing and weak notrumps in most positions. We open most UNBAL 10HCP hands, and most 11HCP BAL.
