Starting today Neapolitan Club will publish a series of notes written for us by Rhoda Walsh on the system “2 over 1 game forcing.” The work, edited by Paolo Enrico Garrisi, is divided into 5 chapters, and has as its object one of the cornerstones of the entire system: 1Notrump game forcing response. Rhoda Walsh, attorney, is a bridge theorist and champion: she’s WBF Grand Master and an ACBL Grand Life Master. She placed third in 1968 World Women’s Team; in the same year she won all three US National Women’s events: two pair events and one team event.
7th in all time masterpoint list for women; author of “Recap Bridge”. With Paul Soloway, John Swanson, and her ex-husband Richard Walsh, Rhoda is one of the co-developers of the 2 over 1 Game Forcing System, formerly known as the Walsh System (see in “Brief history of 2 over 1 Response”).
Neapolitan Club already published “1♣-1♦ sequences”. (click here)
Rhoda today plays professionally in tournaments with students and teaches private groups.
