Backgammon Advanced Players

The books in this section are best not tackled until you have a solid grasp of backgammon fundamentals.

Classic Backgammon Revisited
Jeremy Paul Bagai
This is a book of 120 problems from famous backgammon books that were analyzed wrong by their original author. Bagai gives the correct answer and why, and discusses under what conditions the author's reasoning would be correct.

New Ideas In Backgammon
Kit Woolsey & Hal Heinrich
Heinrich and Woolsey have assembled a collection of positions that top human players got wrong in actual tournaments. They point out the expert's error, then show what play should have been made and why. These are very tricky positions, and the final answer is often counterintuitive, but the commentary is great.

Advanced Backgammon
Bill Robertie
Robertie organizes and explains many high-level backgammon concepts in this collection of 400+ positions (counting both volumes). These books are expensive, but the analysis is deep and extensive. As with other books written before the computer era, you might want to get computer rollouts for the positions to see what advice is perhaps not quite on target.

Modern Backgammon
Bill Robertie
Another excellent book from Robertie. In Modern Backgammon, Robertie explores the concepts taught to us by the new strong computer programs.
