Customer Reviews

Good but expensive

This is really a very useful book for beginners and intermediate players. The only thing that hurts a bit is the steep price ! Another very good book for starters (but also advanced players) is Paul Lamfords "starting out in backgammon", which is moch cheaper !

if you play online buy this book

If you play online as I do you should read this book. I've been playing online at http://www.play65.com/index.html?did=13610 and increased my ratings from 1400 to 1700. the section about the doubling theory was the most importan one for me.

Excellent for the advanced player

This book really helped me improve my skills. There are two really good sections on Doubling. A nice chapter on the back game. Other topics are duplication, flexibility, priming, slotting.This book helps me win more games!
