Synopsis
This is a complete introduction to the game of backgammon, designed for the beginning to intermediate player. Backgammon is one of the world's oldest games, but the innovation of the doubling cube in the 1920s has helped to make it one of the most modern.
Throughout the analysis, from recommended opening moves to the most efficient way of "bearing off," there is a consistent effort to explain the underlying logic of the choice of one move over another. The discussion of basic strategy incorporates a simple explanation of dice roll probabilities, and the use of the doubling cube is demystified -- what is it? how is it used? and why use it?
