Backgammon in the Wind

Intermediate -
expert Price (excluding
UK/EU/Europe): $35.00 About the book: 'Backgammon in the Wind’ is the fifth anthology in the Wind Series and covers Chris’s articles from The Independent newspaper for the years from 2013-2016. The game of backgammon continues to evolve and the last twenty years have seen a period of rapid development in the game. This is largely because of the advent of backgammon computer programs JellyFish, Snowie and, most recently, eXtreme Gammon. Consequently the modern expert player is light years ahead of his 1990s counterpart. The material in this book covers not only the development of backgammon theory but also looks at the history of the game including some of its more famous and colourful players. Backgammon has never been short of interesting characters ranging from Emperor Nero to Lord Lucan. The timeless characters that make up Chris’s menagerie continue to paint a vibrant picture of life in the high stakes chouette. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are on hand to lend instruction and Jeeves and Wooster provide some light-hearted moments.
