He is not trying to be entertaining, but rather informative without being dry. Writers of books that need to explain stuff to the reader should learn from Backgammon on how to do it, regardless of field. I also appreciated the breakdown of the chapters, which is very logical. It builds from simpler topics to more complex ones and from the opening to the endgame. It is a complete work that covers all aspects of backgammon, but there is an area that falls a bit short - the doubling cube.

There is one short chapter dedicated to doubling cube strategy, which barely tackles the subject at all. As Magriel himself says, errors in handling the doubling cube cannot be compensated even with perfect checker play. Of course, as Magriel also says in Renee Magriel's entertaining introduction, the doubling cube is a subject of such complexity that it likely warrants its own book. Still, for a book dubbed the bible of backgammon, lackluster treatment of this subject makes it fall just short of such a high flying moniker for me.

There are some other topics that I felt could do with a bit more explanation and examples, such as the back game. Download lagu romantis indonesia. Also, this book was written way before there was (good) backgammon software, in the seventies, and it is likely that some corrections would have to be made (for example, what are the best openings and responses to the opening rolls) from what we have since learned from the bots. Still, this really is essential reading for any aspiring backgammon player.
