Leafing Backgammon for Blood
Backgammon for Blood by Bruce Becker, published in 1974 is one book which is detested by the readers. To be very honest they suggest the book to their opponents so that they may learn how to lose the game!
There is a basic section in the book Backgammon for blood for the readers which is suitable for the newcomers, and is quite ok. However the doubling section is really something out of the world and is all messed up according to the modern strategies of winning backgammon. His playing the backgammon game is rather bloodthirsty style. He plays the game as if he is challenging a bull in bull fighting. This strategy doesnt work these days and is considered as a sure shot method of losing the game. The theories that he propagates are considered funny now. Hs book is considered amusing instead of being considered useful. The only useful thing you will find is that there are few and far psychological tips to help you.
The book Backgammon for blood may be considered of little use in the modern gaming techniques but it is still regarded as a classic because of the entertainment that it provides to its readers and the new approach to the game. Backgammon for blood deals with the game passionately and the wackiness makes for an entertaining reading which should be taken only lightly. It evokes fits of laughter from the reader and if you have a wrapped sense of humor you should try getting the first hand edition of the book.
