3.0 out of 5 stars Doubling Strategy for Advanced Players, December 28, 2003

By	Guy M. Fisher (Strongsville, OH USA) - See all my reviews

How to Play Tournament Backgammon is a short monograph which promises to teach backgammon players "how to determine the proper doubling strategy ... depending on the match score."

Intermediate players will find practical guidelines on Crawford game strategies, post-Crawford free drops, mandatory doubling and "two-away versus two-away" games. But only advanced players with a fetish for numbers will want to moil through the book's introduction to match equity. These murky sections, which take up most of the book, are heavy on probability theory and light on useful tips.

Players who learn by example will appreciate the illustrative game between the author and backgammon master Bill Robertie that is included at the end of the book.
