I used to suck at backgammon ...

... and now I don't. It's as simple as that. The book delivers as advertised.

But the list of things I suck at remains very long, and I eagerly await a series of "How to Not Suck at ..." books to improve all aspects of my life. Might I suggest getting to work on "How to Not Suck at Writing Backgammon Book Reviews." I definitely could use some help with that.

Nothing new

The book the book doesn’t give any different insight from what we can get from the videos of the 12 rules.
