you have also subtles ideas which will perhaps change your mind about
doubling or taking the cube.

I've heard that Kit Woolsey read the book so you can trust what Peter
Bell says.

Peter Bell is y very good teacher so even when he speaks
about simple things it's profitable to read him. You will read sometimes
some concepts that you already know, but explained by Bell you will
perhaps understand them very much better.

Just one negative thing, you have noting about the scores.

In short I'm an intermediate player and I think that this book is very
profitable for beginners, intermediate and a lot of advanced players.

Let me insist: I know Jacques Torrione personnaly. He is not an
_intermediate_ player as he modestly pretend: he won last Swiss Cup, and
get back from all tournaments with a full pocket. He also organizes here
and there some tourney.
If he says that the book is good, IT IS.

I happen to know Andre Nicoulin personally and if he says that Jacques
Torrione is not an intermediate player than, HE ISN'T.
