Draughts And Backgammon

Originally published in 1921. In two sections. The interesting and scientific game of draughts contains chapters on: Tactics - Openings - General Directions - Positions - Endings - Laws of the Game - Illustrative Game - Polish Draughts - Losing Game. Section Two. Backgammon, a happy mix of skill and chance contains useful information on Blots - Bearing - Scoring - Average Tables - Tactics - Throws - Back Game - Home Table - Problems - Laws of the Game - Russian Backgammon or Tric Trac. Etc. Many of the earliest gaming books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
