Like the article mentioned, this is how (some) bridge tournaments have been played for a long time for what its worth. Not in separate rooms, but with a screen in the middle hiding your partner. http://www.bridgehands.com/S/Screen_Bridge.jpg http://www.bridgehands.com/S/Screen_Bridge.jpg Maybe its hard to get if you're not used to the game, but cheating like that is amazingly offensive. Screens aren't used very often though - I wasnt a great player, but I played in the youth championships in Sweden a few times, and we didnt use screens, and I never once felt like it was needed - it's just not the done thing to cheat.
