Title: A great book, worthy of a champion--NOT.
Review: One expected (MUCH) more from a world champion who has written several top-notch advanced books on backgammon. On this one he tries--and fails miserably--to capture the style of the truly great 70's book on backgammon, Bruce Becker's Backgammon for Blood. That book, though seriously flawed on tactics and strategy, had a joie de vie about it which stimulated more than one beginner to carry on with the game. "Winners" is more a a damp, white bread, mayonaise sandwich. It's not clear that's it the same author who did the advanced books. Other in-print books must do the job better and several out-of-print ones far, far surpass this one.
