The confusion of a great many meaningless generalities has muddied the entire subject of "One Over One" bids. Even the mean- ing of the phrase "One Over One" is mysteriously vague, so that now there are almost 3.3 many. One Over One "systems" as there..are players. It will be obvious to any student of the game that all these so-called "systems” are nothing but variations of the Culbertson (Approach-Forcing) System.

The name "One Over One" was coined by Mr. Theodore A. Lightner, my associate and one of the three or four

truly great analysts and master players of to-day. In his book for advanced players, entitled "High Lights of the Culbertson System. Mr. Lightner states:

"To use this catchy name 'One Over One' to characterize an entire system, as is being done by cer- tain writers, is simply an attempt to convey a false impression that there are two different systems, one called. the Culbertson (Approach-Forcing) and the other the so-called 'One Over One.' Inasmuch as it happens to be I who originated the name and the Forcing variation 'One Over One,' the absurdity of such claims is all the more apparent."
