THE BIGOT-JOHNSON COUP.........
This manoeuvre should only be attempted by players who are out to make a real name for themselves. Desperate for any sort of acclaim, recognition, and publicity regarding their talent for creativity and invention, this coup is all about making a bid or play that is guaranteed to be unique : something that no other player would do, or could possible dream of doing.
Whether the result is good or bad is immaterial. The objective of course is secure a top from absurd, bizarre, illogical and erroneous thinking, which is guaranteed to come up with an action that even a semi-decent bridge player would have never considered. And if by fluke the objective is achieved, the hand may well be cited as one where divine inspiration triumphed over disciplined logic, statistical deduction and sound analysis.
However, in the event that the action proves to be an unmitigated disaster, one can always fall back on quoting classic idioms like " one has to speculate to accumulate " or " fortune only favours the brave" . Alternatively, one might choose to wax lyrical about the excitement and benefit of creating big swing boards, because flat boards achieve sod all, being the scores that only wimps and losers happily cherish.
