美国桥牌协会简报的书评作者 JodyLatham1993 年7月
挤压法一直以来都被认为是一种专家的工具。这本书也不能使人改变这种看法。
作者是北京的一位大学教授,书中有一些很好的内容,但是他的文字较难读懂。
此外,作者过多地把重点放在人们不大可能遇见的挤压法上。前面几章—讨论挤压法的原理和较简单的挤压法—对读者是有帮助的,后面几章则只有喜好深奥猎奇的人才会感兴趣。
这不是一本休闲—或轻松的—读物。另外,书中有几处排印错误,读起来令人分心。
下面是书评的原文。
Book Review
The BULLETIN July 1993
The Squeeze at Bridge
by Chien-Hwa Wang
Squeezes have longbeen considered an expert's tool. This book will do little tochange that opinion.
The author, aprofessor at the University of Beijing, has some excellentillustrations but his prose is difficult to follow.
In addition, theauthor dwells on squeezes one is unlikely to encounter. The earlychapters−−which deal with elements of the squeeze and simplesqueezes—are helpful, but the later chapters would interest only astudent of the abstruse.
This is not acasual−−or an easy−−read. Also, the book has several glaring typos,which are distracting.
