Defense against the weak Trump

In clubs, more and more are the practitioners of the weak trump card: the opening of 1SA shows from 12 to 14 points, or even sometimes less, instead of the traditional 15 to 17. It is not so easy to defend oneself against this aggressive practice, to the point that the federation authorized the players to consult at the table their defense system. The one presented here by Jean-Pierre Desmoulins combines simplicity and efficiency: the basic concepts are well identified (against punitive, Landy and Texas) and the conditions of their use specified. Subsequent developments are presented on the basis of simple ideas which are easy to apply. A booklet never to be forgotten at home!
