Bridge Book Jeremy

This book will change the way you play bridge

In this ground-breaking book, multiple world champion Eric Rodwell descrbes his unique approach to cardplay. First, he explains his process for deciding on a line of play- using concepts such as +L positions, tightropes, trick packages and Control Units. Then he moves on to a host of innovate ideas, stratagems that can be used as a declarer or defender - the Speed of Lightning Play, the Left Jab, the Super Duck, Days of Thunder, Bait and Switch, Gouging, and many, many more. The next two sections explore defense, espcially situations that require counter-intuitive strategies. Finally, he talks about the mental aspects of the game, areas that mark the key differences between an average player and a successful one. Thoroughout, the ideas are illustrated with examples from high-level play, many of them involving the author.

The first draft of this book has been in existence for more than twenty years, but it is only now that Rodwell has delcared to allow his 'secrets' to become public knowledge.

'I'd been looking for a regular partner, and when I met Eric in 1974, I mentally clapped my hands together and said to myself, "That's the guy." Read this book, and you'll begin to see why.' Jeff Meckstroth, multiple World Champion

As a oyunger player I was fortunate enough to be among the few to see the original 'Rodwell Files.' They taught me more about the game than anything else I studied. Eric is already well-known for his many contributions to bidding theory. Thanks to this book he will soon be known as a great theorist of cardplay as well. Fred Gitelman, World Champion
