BACKGAMMON is one of the four major games in the world along with Mynavi Shinsho / Chess, Domino, and Cards. The number of players is said to be about 300 million. Do you know that there is a Japanese woman who is said to shine twice in the world of BACKGAMMON? That is Mr. Akiko Yazawa, the author of this book. In 2012, Ms. Yazawa was found to have stage IIIC uterine cancer. Her doctor declared that she would have less than a year without surgery. From that point on, Ms. Yazawa made a series of choices that determine her life. Whether to have surgery or not, whether to participate in BACKGAMMON competitions or not, whether to fight or give up. She won the World Championships in 2014, two years after the cancer was discovered, and again in 2018. She became the first Japanese and the first woman to win the world championship twice. This book is a record of her battles and a trajectory of choices that put her life at risk. No one knows what kind of developments await her in the future. However, no matter how many times she is returned to the beginning of life, no matter what kind of "eyes" she faces, it is life that continues to look for the best path with her own choices. Even if it is not an easy game, it may not be an easy game, but it is you who will lead your game to victory.
