In Response To: Which book by Chris Bray should I buy? (Timothy Chow)

First the easy bit. All of my books are available from www.lulu.com, most of them in digital format. CJC also stocks all my books and for those resident in the US I would suggest you contact her. The new version of 'Backgammon to Win' (also published under the title 'Backgammon for Blood' in the US) will become available some time in the next 10 days.

As to Timothy's comments I always appreciate feedback from readers and this is an interesting spin. However, as he comments, the book is targeted at a wider range of readers than a book such as "What's your GAME PLAN?" and it is an anthology of articles and not a workbook. Structuring it as a workbook would not endear me to the vast majority of my readers and so I do not intend to change the style. That is the reason the rollouts do not appear on the same page as the problem as many hundreds of readers just don't study rollouts - this may come as a surprise to some readers of this website!

I do intend to write a very technical book on the middle game once I retire from my day job in a couple of years time and that will have a very different style.

FYI - In the problems it is always Black who has the basic decision to make although White occasionally has to do some work as well.

Work on next year's Wind book - "The Wind of Change" has just started.

Hope all of this clarifies matters.

Chris
