BG-2025.0003Description
It seems that Water Richard had the final word when it came to backgammon theory in the 1930’s. 'Complete Backgammon' was the last instructional book of the 1930’s, and would remain in print longer than the others, even renewing its copyright in 1940. 'Complete Backgammon' earns its title by including the new, officially codified Laws of Backgammon, a Glossary of familiar terms, and an extended section on various species of tournament competition including North-South, elimination, round robin, club championships, team matches and inter-club leagues. This text also includes the first confident exposition of the 3-to-1 odds a player enjoys when accepting a double (pp. 19-20).
