Clyde_E._Love Knowpia

Clyde Elton Love (December 12, 1882 – January 31, 1960) was an American contract bridge author and mathematics professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.^[1] He was a native of Bancroft, Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1905.^[2]

Love is well known in bridge circles for his 1959 book Bridge Squeezes Complete, one of the earliest efforts to codify then-existing squeeze play. Love established rules for recognizing bridge squeezes, and for executing them when they occurred. His system of classifying squeezes has been used by most bridge writers since.^[3] He was also the author of many magazine articles.^[1]

He died at his home in Ann Arbor, aged 77. He was survived by his wife and daughter.^[2]
