book lend themselves to adventure, for each is exciting in its own way, and
each is a challenge.
Too often, we give up the true adventure of life to immerse ourselves
instead in dreams and fantasies, allying our lives with the destinies of sports,
TV or movie personalities. How much more satisfying to accept the challenge
that life offers, and that games, which are an integral part of life, also offer!
In order to be bold, we must be serenely confident of our skill and
knowledge. We must act when the opportunity presents itself; when the
odds, whether in life or games, are in our favor. Otherwise, there is nothing
but regret, certainly not joy or fortune. So, for those who desire this adventure,
who want to test their skill, their talent and their luck in a variety of
interesting games, this book is written.
