=== RM (Meckwell) Precision ===

RM Precision is a bidding system played by [[Eric Rodwell]] and [[Jeff Meckstroth]] (which we will call '''Meckwell''') – one of the most successful bridge partnerships of all time. Meckwell bidding is highly sophisticated variation of Precision system. Most of RM Precision was developed subsequently in the early '80s with adaptations following more slowly thereafter. Meckwell notes are a guarded secret. Though many conventions has been openly described and used: [[support double]], conventional transfers in many situations, the pass-double inversion, [[Meckwell convention|Meckwell Defense]]...
They trade long and verbose Alpha, Beta and Gamma Asking Bids for the shorter and concise descriptive sequences. The convention card is available on the internet.<ref name="rm_precision_convention_card">[http://bridgewinners.com/convention-card/print/meckstroth-rodwell RM Precision convention card]</ref>
[[Eric Kokish]] nicely outlines the Meckwell system:

{{blockquote|Their trademark is their tendency to open and overcall very light and consistently play routine partscore deals in game, making a far higher percentage of these games than the odds would suggest.  Some intermediate jump overcalls (unfavorable vulnerability) and a no-fear two-suited overcall style.}}

==== Meckwell Lite ====
Meckwell Lite is a simplified version of RM Precision popular among students and widely played in many bridge clubs. There are many versions of Meckwell Lite (some are listed in [[#External links|external links]]). The common goal is to keep the active features of RM Precision and simplify the auction variations.
