Bridge World Standard (BWS) is a bridge bidding system developed in 1967 and periodically updated, most recently in 2001. It is based on majority preferences of experts and readers of The Bridge World magazine.
The system shares some similarities with Standard American and 2/1 game forcing, but with many advanced treatments.
Famous quotes containing the words bridge, world and/or standard:
“Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Destroy yourselves, you who are desperate, and you who are tortured in body and soul, abandon all hope. There is no more solace for you in this world. The world lives off your rotting flesh.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
“Gentlemen, those confederate flags and our national standard are what has made this union great. In what other country could a man who fought against you be permitted to serve as judge over you, be permitted to run for reelection and bespeak your suffrage on Tuesday next at the poles.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
