What would your opening bid be with this hand? Canape bid?

My right hand opponent opened 1 Diamond with this hand.
Playing canapé, would you open this hand 1D with this 6/4 distribution S/D?

Is this a ruling question or a bidding question?

Canape is an approach, not a bidding system

The choice of bid with this hand depends on your system.

Wouldn't you open 1 in both systems? Canape systems usually have limited openings.

The 1,1 and 1 openings in Roman Club have the same wide range as in 2/1.

Is there anybody who still (or ever played) plays Roman Club in the last 50 years?

In Norway: 2-3 players. I believe they still play it when partnering each other.

I played a lot of Roman Club at the Congressional Secretaries Bridge club in the late 70s or early 80s.

I also played Roman Club as a change of pace(once in a while} over the last 50 years.

As a side question for the experts:

Are there any 1 systems that open 1 with 15-17hcp or long s

If you play coded minors (or Mexican 2) in an otherwise standard short-club system with a 12-14 1nt, then 1 is natural or 15-17 balanced.

But a system in which 1 includes 15-17 any shape (not necessarily balanced) sounds odd. It makes little sense to show point counts that accurately without showing shape at the same time.

There was a crazy teacher in Amstelveen who managed to get many of the pairs in his club to play
1=16-19 any
1=20+ any
I think you could improve on this by putting hands with long clubs into the 1 opening, but it remains a very bad system.

Thanks for the reply

I've just started looking at strong 1 systems and am considering the varieties. I'm OK with the way my system is evolving and caters for Strong hands well, but I find that it is those 15-17 2-suited hands that can sometimes be hard to pin down especially when the longer one is a minor.

How about

1 = Moscito (15+) but not 18+ unless primary C
1 = NAT unBAL (11-14, 4D5C possible) but not 15-17 OR 18-20 BAL
1M = Chapi 8* (standard but not 15-17)
1N = 12-14 BAL (4414 possible)
2 = Precision but 11-14
2 = 23+ BAL or any GF w/o primary C
2M = Weak
2N = 21-22 BAL

or

1 = Moscito (15+) but not 18+ unless primary C
1 = NAT unBAL (11-14, 4D5C not possible) OR 18-20 BAL
1M = Chapi 8* (standard but not 15-17)
1N = 12-14 BAL (4414 possible)
2 = Fantunes but 11-14
2 = 23+ BAL or any GF w/o primary C
2M = Weak
2N = 21-22 BAL

?

Bruce Watson has just published Strong Club, Unbalanced Diamond, based on Marshall Miles' 2007 My System: The Unbalanced Diamond. Personally, I'm sticking to Santa Fe Precision or Standard Modern Precision, or perhaps an amalgamation of both, but you may find something useful in Watson's book.
