Robertie’s “Red Book” offers a complete transcription along with commentary on the epic 35-game 1981 World Championship final between Lee Genud and Joe Dwek in Monte Carlo. The transcription is preceded by a rigorous 20-page treatise on cube handling in match play that covers much of the ground Kit Woolsey would address a decade later in 'How to Play Tournament Backgammon.'
The match analysis itself is notably rigorous, with all cube actions and many checker plays rolled out by hand for 100-300 trials. Additional sections offer an introduction to the Monte Carlo tournament and provide tournament histories for both Genud and Dwek.
Long out of print, this softback has become somewhat scarce.
