Here we want to discuss how a tremendous analytical power and the ability to implement them in the game does not only crown Jacoby with the success in backgammon but also in most of the gambling games of today’s modern world. Jacoby converted backgammon to almost a mathematical game in spite of the cherished tradition of calling backgammon a game of skill and luck. You will be surprised to know that two stalwarts of backgammon ‘Jacoby’ and ‘Crawford’, both started their career in bridge, the famous game of cards, before honors were showered on them for backgammon.

Mr. Oswald Jacoby was born in Brooklyn on December 8, 1902, and died on June 27, 1984. His personal life had been further glorified by his wife Mary Zita Jacoby.
