- Agree and furthermore: Do strong club systems need to be more difficult than
- natural systems, like those played in North-America? The blue club is not so
- complicated and there is a booklet called simplified Precision, which proposes
- a strong club system, which is so simple that even beginners can use it
- without more than usual beginner difficulties. And on the other hand, there
- are many variations on Standard American, which are at least as difficult as
- standard Precision.
