  COMMENTS:

     I have one of those books and I like it very much. Kit Woolsey gives excellent analyses and explanations and is better in this respect than Robertie in my opinion, but that might be a matter of taste. These books describe complete matches, just like you play in real life and I think that's nicer to read and probably more useful, because you get to see how your game plan should change as the dice dictate. It is also good to watch a game progress to see when and why one should double (and drop or take), and what kind of errors very good players can make."—Robert-Jan Veldhuizen, August, 2000
