Synopsis: The basic
philosophy of the Romex system is to define the strength and the
distribution of the hands as soon as possible. To achieve this, we place the
relatively low maximum limit of about 17 points on the opening one-bid in a
suit, which is predominantly used in its natural sense. By natural we mean
that the bid bears a direct relationship to the strength and length of the
suit named. Artificial bids of one notrump, two clubs and two diamonds are
used to describe strong hands with specific distributions. Each of these
categories is rather strictly limited, so that the negative inferences
gained when these bids are not used allow responder to obtain a sharp
picture early in the bidding. Thus the combined potential of partnership
assets emerges clearly and with straightforward simplicity in the first
rounds of bidding. The recurring nightmare of standard bidding is cleanly
eliminated. No longer need you contemplate the uncertainty of the unlimited
opening one-bid with its interminable forcing sequences. Gone is the
frustration of waiting for opener and responder to limit their hand, which
sometimes happens only at a level already too high and, alas, too late.
