The Pink Club
The PINK Club is currently undergoing major revisions. The author of the
system (dad) has told me on a number of occasions that the system has undergone
it's final revision. But, in reality, there is always another change coming.
For this reason, my wife, Barbara, and I have nicknamed it the Penultimate
Club. Right now he is not even pretending to be close to finished. One of
the problems we encountered while playing the PINK Club was conforming to
the GCC. We decided to abandon the GCC and use PINK in only SuperChart events.
Which means we don't get to play it very often. So, Dad has decided to create
two systems (that may be similar), one will be completely GCC legal, one
will not be close. PINK will be GCC legal, the new system which is currently
being called FUCHSIA,will not.
PINK is a strong-club system that features four-card majors and a wide-range
1NT opening bid. After natural opening bids, responder may relay for distributional
information and honor location. It is moderately complex, and certainly
not designed for very casual players and partnerships. You will observe,
though, that in a number of places compromises have been struck between
simplicity and efficiency, with simplicity usually coming out on top.
FUCHSIA will be similar - strong club, wide-range NT, four-card majors,
non-forcing 2/1
- but will also be partially canapé and the 1C opening will contain
some weaker hands.
