Our guest this week is backgammon expert Bob Wachtel, who discusses his book “In the Game Until the End: Winning in Ace-Point Endgames.” Wachtel and both co-hosts knew each other at the Cavendish West backgammon club in the late 1970s and we discuss how each of the backgammon clubs of the era was a bit different.
We welcome your questions – send them to us at [email protected], or you can find me at @RWM21 on Twitter.
