The purpose of the bridge innovations published here is to make anyone a Bidding Expert in 3 days. 
                                          You do not even suspect how fundamental are these ForcePoint's innovations !

                 You may even continue to use your own system, simply implying some of the innovations, although with ForcePoint's 1NT/1 natural system you may have a great success.
   The ForcePoint Counting provides a minimum of 70% contract assurances for Matchpoints scoring games with 12 TOP (that's about 8.4 points a game on any Bidding Contest). The one only convention used SCOR-SCOR supply the exact partner's shape usually below 3NT and allow to you to apply the correct PL's Adjustments. The Control Point Asking (CPA) may start even on 3 Level and will reveal the exact number of the partner's Aces, Kings, the contract tricks even the number of the Queens with 1 only question!  With the huge bidding space still remaining you can use SCOR again to discover where the partner's TOP Honors are. No one needs more information to place the best possible contracts surprisingly becoming an Expert Bidder by the knowledges obtained for 24 hours only !
                                                                                                                                                                                  The Playing is your own responsibility !

  The B# represents the player's contract tricks for the FIT suit and is based on ForcePoint's Speedy Counting, a new stable Low of the Total Tricks.
 - If there is no FIT, the NT game's Play Level (PL) is always 1 below than the suit's PL

  The PL is the sum of both partners B#s before the Adjustments (if any)
  100% statistical Grand Slam! Is it too difficult to exchange that information with your partner? It is elementary with ForcePoint's 1NT/1 natural system !

    ForcePoint Bidding Mechanism
  A Bidding Mechanism for discovering your partner's exact shape and number of tricks, usually below 4CL, thus allowing to you to choose the best contract possible by using one only Convention & a new Control Points Asking for simultaneously discovering not only the number of your Controls but also their kind with one only question. Find the exact number of your partner's Queens even without asking for them !

Explanation of the used Abbreviations and Adjustments:
- The Base Number (B#) represents the player's tricks less 2, so the actual player's tricks are: B# + 2. Using the ForcePoint's Master Hand Evaluation Counting, which includes all your HCP, Distribution and Control Points, the B# provides close to 90% tricks' assurance for the player's possessions. The actual game's Play Level (PL) assurance may drop to slightly over 75% because of the millions of bad splits possible, but the statistical rate is around 85%.

- Play Level (PL): The sum of both players' B#s for the FIT suit, if no FIT the NT PL is 1 below

- Control Points (CP): Ace = Void = 6 CP, King = Singleton = 4 CP
NOTE: With 32 to 38 CP (30 CP with 2 FITs) you can play a Small Slam, with 40+ CP (36 with 2 FITs) go for the Grand

ADJUSTMENTS:

Positive Tricks' (respectively B#'s or PL's) Adjustments:
- For a SuperFit of 9 Trump cards add 0.5 trick, for 10+ Trumps cards add 1.0 trick
- For a 2nd Misfit (5 by 2 or a FIT 6 by 2) with both Controls or for a 2nd FIT (5 by 3/4) with the 3 TOP Honors add 1.0 trick (raise your PL 1.0 up)

Negative Tricks' (respectively B#'s/PL's) Adjustments:
- For a King opposite a Void, subtract 1.0 trick (lower your PL 1.0 down)
- For any two 4+ card suits opposite 2 pseudo (Singleton/Void) suits subtract 1.0 trick (lower your PL 1.0 down)
- For a Trump Misfit of  7 cards subtract 1.0 trick (lower your PL 1.0 down)
 
The game below is from old days, the current days bidding is at right
  Elementary Bidding:

S: 2SP = B(2.5)+, SP bi-color
N: 2NT = B1+, actually 1.5, RF
S: 3HE = SP + HE weak bi-color, B# = 2.5
N: 4SP = Sign-off

PL = 2.5 + 1.5 = 4.0


  ************        Mr.Valio Kovachev (Valani) is one of the strongest bridge players in the world. He understood Fp Counting/Bidding in 2 hours, and although he doesn't play it because most of his clients use 2/1, SAYC or Precision Club, his words "Anyway I'm already a fan of it" were a biggest reward for me. If I was a millionaire like Mr.Cayne or Mr.Jacobs affording to hire him and his best parner Mr.Isporski to play ForcePoint along with one of the best Bulgarian pair Mr.Trendafilov - Mr.Karaivanov no one in the world would be able to beat them for years to come !  Try to make 4SP watching all cards without any back playing correction, and you will sense Valani's super playing! In comparison, 3NT contract will be made by anyone!
- 6 players like Valani using Fp Hand Evaluation Counting along with 1NT/1 system, and USA1 will become USA2. But that is very difficult to be arranged, you must be a bridge loving millionaire. Of course, I always may be hired for 2 months to coach even USA2 if they want to blow away USA1 for the next 50 years! I believe they are smarter players than me and will understand the Fp Bidding Mechanism even for less than a week including the practice.
NOTE: Although the superior FprcePoint's Hand Evaluation Counting will show to anyone the right spot for both, NT's and suit's contracts, the Experts do not need to worry for their current privilege of "Bidding's Know How", because the same this Counting will frequently show to them Games or Slams which no one will bid and the Experts will need to use their full playing power if they want to succeed. The Contract always will be there, but they must find the right way to be played.
Larry Cohen in his famous book "Bidding Challenge" marked the Bidding for this deal like a very tough one.
 
"Deal 19 proved to be very difficult. Only 2 of 8 pairs reached the proper spot of 3NT ...
How should NS accurately bid these hands? After 1DI - 1HE - 3DI what should North do? At several tables he chose 3SP and now how was poor South supposed to bid 3NT without a Club Stopper? Some North tried 4DI on their 2nd turn, also leading to the unsuccessful 5DI game. Maybe this hand is just too tough"
- Larry says also that the 2 pairs who reached 3NT used the Bidding sequence of 1DI - 1HE - 2DI - 3NT and adds:
"I'm not overly impressed, since if you switch South's black suits, North would be in a silly 3NT, cold for 5 or 6 DI"
Install_Fp_Counting

- He also asked Meckwell pair, who sat EW on this Tournament how they would bid this game, if they were sitting NS:
"Their answer was as simple as could be: they open Gambling 3NT with the South hand (some Experts would consider it too strong for such a preempt). They say they have had a great success with this treatment, but it seems strange to me. They would have won 10 IMPs on this occasion, so who am I to argue?"

- See bellow how easy is all that with ForcePoint's Hand Evaluation Counting using 1NT/1 system, even if you decide to switch South's black suits for fun.
ForcePoint's 1NT/1 Bidding
S: 1DI with B# = 2.5+, actually 3.5, 5+ DI cards
N: 1NT = Round Forcing with B# = 1.0+, actually 2.0 with min PL = 2.5 + 2.0 = 4.5 for now
S: 2HE = 3rd step answer by SCOR-SCOR for the Major side suits
N: 2SP = Game Forcing
S: 2NT = 7 card DI suit
N: 3CL = Relay for the 2nd longest suit
S: 3SP = 3 card SP suit, so 3271 exact shape (it can not be any other!)
N: 3NT = Sign-off with PL = 2.5 + 2.0 = min 4.5 for the FIT suit or for the NT Contract  The hope is EW's 7 card SP suit to split favorably (4 by 3) or even if it splits 5 by 2 the suit to be blocked from the side of the 2 card holder. Will you hit the jackpot? Maybe, but that's the Game of Bridge!
NOTE: Actually South's B# = 3.5, and NS theoretically will take more tricks if EW fail to attack SP suit! 		Below you will find some games which ForePoint missed (almost) ! The first one was published in Bridge Today Internet magazine's issue (less than $3 a month for an exceptional enjoyment, http://www.bridgetoday.com), and is from 2006 Spingold Team Final. See for yourself what the ForcePoint's Hand Evaluation Counting shows for the game's Play Level.
This is a game for which even ForcePoint has some doubt about the final contract. The cause is that there not enough bidding space for asking of the Queen's suit.
- Do not be in any doubt that West will discover the exact partner's shape, how many Controls East has, and where they are, that's 1NT/1 system fellas. But a problem still persists!
- Using the special ForcePoint's Formula for discovering the number of the Queens without even asking for them, West will discover that East has exactly one Queen, but in what of the red suits in the hell is it !
- If East has Queen of HE the Slam is reasonable, but if he has the Queen of DI, the Slam is doomed! What is the West's final bid: Pass or 6HE ?!
 
 
.EW's 1NT/1 bids explanation:

N: Pass
E: 3H = B(2.5)+, actually B(2.5), bi-color with 6 card HE suit
S: Pass
W: 3S = B1+, actually B3, Relay by SCOR for the bi-color suits
N: Pass
E: 3NT = x65x (HE + DI bi-color)
S: Pass
W: 4C = Relay for the exact shape
N: DBL = obviously a lead director
E: 4SP = 2=6=5=0 exact shape
S: Pass
W: 4NT = Asking for the exact B#
N: Pass
E: 5CL = B# of  2.5
S: Pass
W: 5HE = Signoff with PL < 6
All Pass
 Is that possible ?!

- Before you start, you will need to use the Fp Counting to evaluate your hand and find your Base Number (B#). The B# will tell you how many tricks you hold if you play in a FIT suit. When you exchange tat information with your partner, the sum of both partners B#s will supply the game's Play Level (PL), for example with B# = 2.5 you have 4.5 total tricks, but only 2.5 contract tricks (each partner do not count 2 initial tricks, for the total of the 4 tricks which are not counted in the game of bridge when you place a contract (4HE needs 10 tricks, but you bid 4, not 10). Actually, the initial tricks that are not counted are 6, but you remove only 4 of them, making the Counting very aggressive !

- Did you catch the Slam with your system? If so, you do not need ForcePoint's Hand Evaluation Counting and 1NT/1 system. But if you had problems, think about it ! The ForcePoint Bidding mechanism is dynamic, which makes it undependable by the opponents overcalls, and the best part is that you won't need to remember the bids, but the Bidding Mechanism only !
       
A Slam that probably only ForcePoint's 1NT/1 system can reach with 100% confidence
  - South will open 1DI = 5+ card suit and Base Number B# = 2.5+ (actually 2.5), natural and non-forcing
- After 1HE overcall by West North will bid DBL = Round Forcing (RF) with B# = 1.0+ (actually 1.0) asking for the side suits.
- After 2HE by East South will bid DBL = COLOR (black) side suits.
- North will bid 2SP = Game Forcing Relay asking for the 2nd longest suit.
- South answer will be 1 Level + 1 step over the last bid showing exactly 4054 shape, in this case 3NT (in case if East bid 3CL after 2SP, the cue-bid of 4CL will show the same shape).
 - North will find min PL = 2.5 + 1.0 + 1.0 (for 10 SP Trumps) + 1.0 (for "good" HE Void) = 5.5 and will continue with 4CL asking for the exact B#
 - South will bid 4SP showing B# = 3.5, already upgraded with 1.0 for HE suit
 - North, finding PL = 3.5 + 1.0 + 1.0 (for 10 SP Trumps) + 1.0 (for  = 5.5 will want to check, if they have at least 32 CP and will continue with 4NT = Control Points Asking, CPA
 - South will bid 5HE showing 20 CP (A + 2K + Void)
 - North, adding 4 more CP for the "good" HE Void (no King opposite the Void) and discovering a total of 34 CP now will bid  6SP = Signoff
 - Of course, there is a possibility South to miss any Control in SP suit, but statistically this will be very rare !
The conclusion: With Super FIT do not hesitate to ask !

 

 Will you need to use Fp to reach the difficult Slams? You know what? Obviously not everyone on the Expert Level pay attention to the Bidding! And some pairs are on the TOP of the Bridge World! Which automatically means an eventual ForcePoint's Pair will be on the TOP of the Galaxy Bridge World. Unbelievable, no one pay any attention to the Club suit anymore. Is that the Modern Bridge or what?! All those Expert Panelists with their always different opinions, because no one is sure what going on exactly! I'm tired of this impaired Bidding.

 Be more pragmatic. Exchange information for your contract trick along with the FIT suit(s), ask for Controls and their suits and find the best contract. If the opponents try to interrupt your Bidding, discard the Control Asking, but use the sum of your contract tricks to reach your final contract. Of course you will need a Perfect Low of the Total Tricks, ForcePoint has one: The Counting, you may use it with any system !
