Product Description:
Backgammon is the story of two lifelong friends and their path to forgiveness. It is an engaging, wickedly beautiful journey through the great successes and devastating accidents of life through the eyes of one who has seen it all, but is still looking - looking to reclaim a piece of something precious that was lost to him years ago while in the hands of his best friend. Backgammon was the tortoise's life. It was not just the simple game itself that enamored him, but his opponents and the insights he gained from playing with them. Success, much like life, hinges on the luck of the roll. Once the basics have been mastered, the moves one makes cannot be undone and they change the entire course of the game.

Amazon.com Review:
Bill Robertie did not become two-time backgammon world champion and one of the greatest players of all time by pursuing a conservative game. He calls his style "dynamic backgammon" and he teaches it in this book, aiming his lessons at the raw beginner as well as experienced players. He starts at the very beginning--setting up the board--and takes the reader through his approach to every element of play. It's an approach that pays off, as his championship record shows. The book is rich with clear diagrams and explanations, with three sample games that illustrate his points well.
