His competitive nature always drove him to pursue victory, and he not only became a champion in dominoes. Antonio was also a champion in chess, his other passion as a player, where he won multiple trophies.
Dominoes became a regular part of his life, even after marriage, as he played weekly with three neighboring couples—while the women played cards, the men played dominoes. From that continued practice, the idea arose to share his knowledge through a practical and simple guide to the game... to help you win!
Antonio recently celebrated his 99th birthday, and his children wanted to pay tribute to him by editing and publishing, in a clearer, more illustrated, and practical manner, the first version that had only been shared with close friends, and to bring his insightful vision of partner dominoes to a wider audience.
