Sourcing[edit]

@Boeing720: the existing sources look like ads and don't say anything about the topic. There are any number of books that could be cited here. Use one of those. If you can't, I'll restore the redirect. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:00, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No if you play yourself play at sobridge.com , just put the marker above the question mark for a 2D opening. (Free) It's apparently also known as "Benjamin Two's" (2C/D) - I've added a source for that. PPlease note though - I'm not saying it's the only 2D-opening. Neither the best. Just that it stands to "some reason" that both minors are used in a similar way. Its origin is unclear to me still, but not invented by me and not at Sobridge or Funbridge either. Perhaps "Benjamin Two Diamonds" is a better name ? Boeing720 (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you saying this is a feature/option for computer bridge software? power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:13, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Power~enwiki:No - not any longer, at least. You got me investigating further. It's sooner an old convention forgotten , but has regained some popularity. But the article name should perhaps be changed to "Benjamin Twos" and include 2C/2D as of this article. There is even a story behind these bids. Look here [1] - reliable ?

We even have an article on Albert Benjamin, which mentions these two strong 2-minors openings together with 2-major openings as weak. Boeing720 (talk) 16:29, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
