Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Thus 1st Printing. Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Edges Lightly Soiled. How to Play-and Win! Step-by-Step, Fully Illustrated for Beginners & Buffs; The Most Comprehensive, Up-to-Date, Readable Guide Ever! By Two of the World's Gr…eatest Players, Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford. BOOK NUMBER: B7823. SYNOPSIS: BACKGAMMON FOR FUN OR MONEY Everything You Need to Know to Play and Win! Here is the basic backgammon book, the one essential guide for learning how to play a game that is simple enough for a ten-year-old, yet so challenging that it has intrigued the world's great game players for over two thousand years! It's all here - from the basics of equipment and setting up a game, to understanding the object of competition; from preliminaries and starting plays to the fascinating strategy and fine points of the middle and end game . . . PLUS Step-by-step sample games and analyses; The official laws of backgammon (including new rules formulated in collaboration with the International Backgammon Association); The history of the game; How to run a tournament; Crucial points of strategy explained by two master players; And more! Oswald Jacoby and John R. Crawford are very good friends and through the years have been amiable rivals in a variety of games. At backgammon there are seven international championships: Jacoby has won three, Crawford one. Both still play. Crawford has also won the Regency Cup championship. At one time, Crawford held five national bridge titles, and Jacoby was second to him in four of them. Crawford has also been a member of three of the five American teams to win the world's championship. Jacoby has won the world's championship once and is at present non-playing captain of the world's championship team, which includes his son James, with whom he also writes a bridge column. He has won more national bridge championships than anyone else. At other games, Jacoby will admit that Crawford is probably the best gin-rummy player in the world. But Jacoby is probably superior at casino and piquet. When it comes to bridge and backgammon, neither will concede to the other, but no one will do well against them if they play as partners. Both authors have written other game books. Some of these are: (for Crawford) How to Be a Consistent Winner in the Ten Most Popular Card Games, Crawford's Contract Bridge, How to Win at Canasta, Playing Canasta and Samba; and (for Jacoby) How to Win at Canasta, Oswald Jacoby on Poker, Oswald Jacoby on Gin Rummy, How to Figure the Odds and Mathematics for Pleasure. Jacoby's most recent previous book is Jacoby Modern-A System for the Seventies, written with his son. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
