Description

How great a role does chance play in ball games? Is it really an advantage to bluff at poker? What are the principles behind non-attacking queens in chess, and the faulty coin among twelve? What mathematical theories underlie games of pure skill, and what fundamental paradoxes of mathematics are brought to light when you study simple automatic games? This book shows how mathematical analysis can throw unexpected light on games of chance, of skill, of choice and on puzzle games.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
