| COVER: |
Backgammon, like chess, has been played for thousands of years, yet its appeal and fascination, with its combination of skill and luck, still attracts new players all over the world. So simple to learn that beginners can play a fun game in half an hour, but so complex that brilliant mathematicians aided by computers cannot resolve the problems of tactics and positions that arise. In a step-by-step format, Backgammon in a Week guides the beginner through the basic rules and principles of the game to a high playing standard. The book explores winning and defensive strategies, and the traps, ambushes and blockades that make the game so exciting. it is also one of the few books that covers the modern tactics and position analysis that have developed over the last fifteen years. Instruction for the Chouette version of the game, which can be enjoyed by up to six people, are included too. |
