| | Description | This book covers the basics of Two-Over-One Game Force, a popular variation of Standard American bidding. It shows how a small modification can make it easier for the partnership to get to the best game contract and explore the possibility of slam. Using a response of 1 NT as a forcing bid can improve the results. Bidding is color-coded in this well organized book. Summaries, exercises, and sample deals illustrate the ideas. | |

 even i learned 2/1 with this book :) May 29, 2009
By Louise Sullivan
I took 5 lessons on 2/1 GF, and Audrey Grant's book was the text book for the course. I found it very easy to understand and learn from ~ and am now using 2/1 as my primary bridge system (for the last 2 months). What I liked best about the book was the progression of the concepts from the beginning to the end of the book. It was in an order that made the book flow without any confusion. The system was explained simply and completely. There is not really much difference from the Standard American Yellow Card that I have been playing for several years, so the transition was smooth. And,if after a game at the Club, I wonder if I bid correctly, it is so easy just to review in the well-organized book. (And if I decide not to continue with 2/1 GF as my primary system, the knowledge I gained is still a wonderful bridge tool.) ~~~ The book begins with explaining what 2/1 Game Force response is in the first chapter. It is then followed in chapter two by the forcing One No Trump response. Then she goes on to explain the 2/1 rebids for chapter three. And chapter four is on the choice between game and slam. Each chapter has a summary and quizes, and there are many additional practice deals.

Understandable 2 over 1 Apr 12, 2009
By Wendy W. Dewell
"Wendy"
Easy to understand for the advanced beginner/intermediate bridge player.
It has lots of hands to practice with!! And it makes sense, I mean about why one would want to do 2 over 1. A must for those considering switching to 2 over 1 game force! Color adds, too.

2 Over 1 Game Force May 10, 2009
By John L. King
This is an excellent bridge book that covers 2 over 1 game force bidding and forcing 1 no trump bids. It also has a great chapter on slam bidding that covers alternatives to Blackwood.

great Oct 16, 2009
By Patrick G. Hoffman
I truly enjoyed this book. Very straightforward. the problems and the play of hands from both the declarer and defender's point of view are very helpful. Highly recommend for anyone trying to learn this system.

 Clearly written, but only an introduction Apr 09, 2012
By J. C. van Gool
Yes, this book is clearly written (Not like Hardy's books on 2/1). And there are many examples. But it is not more than an introduction.
All situations which are hard to bid in 2/1MF are not mentioned at all or only very shortly:
- How do I bid with a 4-5-2-2 hand?
- How do I find a 5-3 fit in Hearts after 1S-1NT-2C?
- How do I continue after 1D-2C?
So, if you are new to 2/1MF it is a good book to start with. But if you really want to start playing this, you will have do some more reading.
