Fond of original expressions and neologisms, Rodwell gives himself to heart: “Great leap for a recovery”, “Coup du 007: fire at will! "," Left hook "," Help yourself and save yourself! "

The last part of the book, "What to do and what not to do", further addresses the psychological aspects of the game with sections such as "Ask yourself the right questions", "Record the news and take it into account ”,“ Do not fall into a ready-made scheme ”.

All of these tips are particularly edifying. Intended for experienced bridgers (or eager to become one!), Rodwell's Secret Files are teeming with exhibits that unravel many mysteries and deliver an innovative and instructive approach to the game. To consult play and night!
