Exactly what it says on the tin. Here are 50 very quick tips, 1 per page on improving your game. It can be read in under an hour. What matters is that, for me, it worked. I'm a rookie losing more games than I win, and it is such as me, I suppose, that this book is aimed. The tips, on opening, running, blocking, bearing off, odds, doubling, are easy to digest but extremely effective. My rating is improving just after reading (and re-reading) it. There's a useful glossary at the end and a table for calculating the odds on dice throws. The tips on odds were, in particular, very clear and helpful. Indeed, if this little book has a theme, it is playing with the odds.

If my partner reads this he may actually win a game or two... very good for beginners and those of us who want to see what we really know about playing the game. Recommended.

little book of Backgammon tips
16 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is very basic, but helpful for a novice like me. It gives several quick tips to help getting started in the game. I quickly found it useful. It is not for people with much experience in the game.
