Playing Doublets: Backgammon Puzzles to Improve Your Checker Play

Top Class. Improved my game ten fold.

Great!

So interesting to see how the automatic or obvious moves can be an error or a blunder ! Very instrucyive for at least beginners ! Great book, thx !!

Based on the enthusiasm shown by the 5 star reviewer I decided to purchase this book as I am always looking for ways to improve my game.Just one small little problem: for each of the positions there is zilch, nada, null, absolutely no commentary about WHY the answer given is the best option.Anybody can run a position through XG, GNU, or Snowie. But it's authors like Walter Trice, Jeremy Bagai, Bill Robertie and Paul Magriel that help your game immeasurably because of the ANALYSIS they provide of a board position. Should you run, anchor, hit, stay back, prime, put checkers out of play and why?This should not be your first advanced backgammon book, not even your second, third, fourth or fifth. Try "Backgammon Boot Camp" or "Classic Backgammon Revisited" instead.Two stars instead of one because the problems given *are* interesting.

This is a great book to learn Doublets. I can recommend it to anyone and is a great addition to my Backgammon library of 17 books.
