- Two-level opening bids
- Pre-emptive openings
- Responses to 1NT and 2NT
- Conventions after 1-level suit openings
- Slam conventions
- Bidding over the opponent's opening bids
- Bidding over their strong openings
- General competitive methods
- Uncommon but effective conventions
- Conventions in card play
