5.0 out of 5 stars
Increased my rating on FIBS by 100,
By mojo (Mandeville, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backgammon For Serious Players 56 (Paperback)
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!

As the title suggests, best for serious players,
By Bob Matthews "Dr. Bob" (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Backgammon For Serious Players 56 (Paperback)
Dr. Robertie presents over 100 problems in this book, all with serious analysis. Not for the novice, but if you're a backgammon hound, it's worth the read.His analysis of the end game is especially good.

This review is from: Backgammon For Serious Players 56 (Paperback)
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.
