Summary:
This latest addition to the bestselling 52 Great Tips series features
backgammon—the centuries-old game whose popularity is exploding
today, thanks to exciting new opportunities to play online. Starting
with the basic rules, Michael Crane, a leading British player,
explains everything both beginners and advanced competitors need to
know. He shows the newcomer that what looks at first like a simple
game of chance offers deep strategic challenges. And for the reader
who learns how to calculate the odds, he offers winning advice on the
best ways to handle different situations on the board. The tips (some
of them contributed by other international players) cover everything
from the opening moves to the subtleties of using the doubling cube.
