With an Exclusive section on how to win with Silva Mind ControlDescription
The “luck factor” is a topic of perennial interest to backgammon players, so it’s refreshing to read the advice of a practitioner who decides he’s going to DO something about it. If we presume he is in earnest, Baron Vernon Ball must surely rank among the great backgammon philanthropists, showing us how we can improve our dice through “Silva Mind Control” rather than hoarding the technique for personal gain. The chapter on the effect of various drugs on backgammon acumen provides more in the way of period color than enduring relevance.
On a more substantive note, the book is notable for including Lewis Dyong's rules set for the International Black & White Tournament.Inscription/Signature/Marks
