whereagles Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Never tried. It might work, but the book has a lot of technical terms that might get messy in the translated version. The book is definitely worth translating. 20 years after, it still stands as the only good book on bidding ever written. Yes, the ONLY one.

benlessard Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 IMO there is a lot of interesting ideas, but too many flaws, the requirement for the fit jump are too high so the frequency is too low. Also many fit jump situation help opponents more than your side. Also some of the splinters are just worth more than the fit jumps (especially if they turn FP "on") For sure its worth reading but dont take it as a bible.

Siegmund Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I remember thinking, when I first read this book, that I wished someone would translate parts of it into English :) Had to work very hard to extract some fine ideas from this book.

helene_t Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I remember thinking, when I first read this book, that I wished someone would translate parts of it into English :)Agree, the number of grammatical errors and typos is so large that it is sometimes difficult to read.

the hog Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 This book is the classic on contested auctions. There is nothing that as yet comes close to it. It is one of the best theoretical Bridge books ever written. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
