Backgammon by Paul Magriel
A concise, authoritative introduction to backgammon that teaches fundamentals of checker play, opening strategy and tactical motifs—primes, anchors, holding games, blitzes and backgames—while explaining the mechanics and strategy of the doubling cube, pip counts and probability-based decision making; the text uses worked positions, annotated games and problems to build practical judgment, timing and match-versus-money distinctions, guiding beginners and intermediate players toward a systematic approach to evaluation and risk management.
