Say Goodbye to Forcing 1NT. Revolutionize Your results.

Are you ready to truely evaluate, communicate and innovate at the bridge table? For decades, the Forcing 1NT response has been a staple of American bidding, yet it often creates more problems than it solves. Modern American Majors systematically dismantles this aging standard, replacing it with bidding innovations designed for precise communication for exceptional results in duplicate play. This groundbreaking book dives deep into auctions that begin by opening a major suit. Our approach revolutionizes 4-card support auctions by integrating Losing Trick Count with the Law of Total Tricks. This scientific method secures superior contracts for better match-point scores, while effectively obstructing opponents who likely hold their own 9-card fit.

Inside you will learn to:

Master Scientific Evalution: Transition from just "point counting" to disciplined, high-accuracy hand assessment.

Appy Maximum Pressure: Unlock bidding sequences designed to crowd the auction and force opponents into difficult decisions.

Redefine Game Forcing: Implement a sophisticated new structure of Game Forcing bids and understand their proper roles.
