Customer Reviews

Stepped up my game in one read

Great book. Really improved my game with one read. Easy to understand and brought together the loose pieces of what I know into a solid understanding. Very beneficial. Easy read.

more than i expected

i'm a backgammon player for more than 20 years and this book has given me many solid and useful insights in statistics, common situations during the game, strategies etc. I loved it! Not to mention that the writer has a great gift of putting his ideas clearly and objectively.

Increased my rating on FIBS by 100

I had been stuck below 1500 on FIBS internet backgammon server for over a year. After studying this book for about a month, my rating increased by 100 points. I have since read Bill Robertie's other books, and I am now at 1650 on FIBS. The basic tips highlighted in this book are worth the cost of this book alone. To get the most out of this book, you need to use a backgammon board and play along with the diagrams, and compare what you would usually do compared to what an expert would do in the same situation. Great for beginners and intermediates!

easy to read, fast progress results

I didn't know anything about backgammon: notation, strategy, etc. I read this book and found it was easy to follow the games and his annotations. Then I started beating people who previously would easily beat me. 'Nuff said.

CHANGE

This one was my first book in my backgammon studies and it becames my turning point into a serious player in the netgammon site.
