Book Description

Undoubtedly the best book written on this subject. The author sweeps away the generalities and gives fifty concrete examples of how to play difficult casts. Each problem is shown in a diagram and the reader can decide how to move the men and then compare the play with the correct answer, which is given in small type below the diagram.

A complete Back game is also given with explanations of the moves as made. This book is the final word on this game and cannot fail to improve the readers's play.
