Product Description
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?

From the Back Cover
Like all books in the Rules of the Game series, Backgammon is designed to give the beginning player a complete overview of a truly classic game. This book provides a thorough examination of the strategy and rules of the dynamic game of backgammon. While basic enough for the beginning player, Backgammon has much to offer the intermediate player as well.

Extensive illustrations and detailed sample games complement the clearly written descriptions of all aspects of this sociable game from the layout of the equipment and opening rolls to basic strategy, use of the doubling cube, and end game play. Included as well are explanations of basic dice probabilities, the popular multi-player variation known as chouette, tournament play, Internet resources, international variations and a detailed glossary.

Backgammon is a complete and comprehensive survey which provides the knowledge to understand and enjoy the intricacies of one of the world's oldest and most fascinating games.
