Remarks |
1. The books contain three matches of "Backgammon Giant" Malcolm Davis. Vol. 1 discusses a match from the World Championship 2000
against Ed O'Laughlin. Vol. 2 contains two matches: The final of the Last Chance from Pittsburgh 1997 against Marty Storer (the author of this book) and
a match from the 2nd round of the World Championship 2001 against Frank Talbot. The players (Ed O'Laughlin, Frank Talbot und Malcolm Davis) co-comment
the matches move-by-move.
2. The match Malcolm Davis vs. Marty Storer (1997) can be downloaded from my Match Archive (uncommented). 3. Distributor: Carol Joy Cole 4. Publishers website: www.fortuitouspress.com/praxis.html |

Book Reviews |
"In closing, I must admit that I just don't have enough time and space to say more good things about 'Backgammon Praxis'.
It is the best match analysis book I've ever seen. [..] The quality of play by the four world-class
players is quite good, and the games are very instructive. Much of the book may be over the heads
of beginners. However, it is a superb book for those intermediates looking to become strong advanced
players, and a great tool for experts looking to further improve. [..] 'Backgammon Praxis' receives a grade A from me!!" — Neil Kazaross, Flint Area BackgammonNews, May 2005 |
