Questions

Can my kids take backgammon lessons with you?
In my experience, younger kids (under, say, age 16) take to chess because it’s a game of pure logic. Backgammon – based on odds and probabilities – is totally different.
I have generally found that children under the age of 16 do not enjoy individual, or one-on-one, backgammon lessons. Thus, I do not offer them. But in-person backgammon lessons with a parent and child are often fun for both parties. Parent-and-child sessions can be booked by special arrangement in Boston only.
To arrange a special parent-and-child session, email me at gammon_press@msn.com or call me at 781-641-2091.
Thanks,
Bill Robertie
