Description

Here is the complete run of Kent Goulding's series of match transcription analyses. While chess transcriptions had long immortalized the brilliancies of its masters, even the most momentous backgammon matches had rarely been transcribed before the 1980’s -- perhaps reflecting a view of the game as an ephemeral contest dominated by chance. This series therefore marks a major advance in backgammon's evolution from dice game to mindsport.
