[Jim · Rating 4 out of 5]

A VERY tedious read, but totally worth the trouble to any serious or intermediate player. Really, the best information I've found on excellence in playing backgammon.

[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 4 out of 5]

Every chapter of Backgammon: The Modern Game reveals another layer of the maze, with Terence Reese carefully mapping out how independent thought gets quietly nudged off course.

[Longfellow · Rating 4 out of 5]

This has been by far the best backgammon "how to" book I've read. For one thing, Reese recommends moves that have given me a fresh perspective on positioning, risk, etc. He also gives detailed explanations for why he recommends particular moves. Basically, it's changed how I play - or at least how I'm willing to play at times. Don't know that my win-loss record has been altered much, but it's always fun to learn and explore new or alternate strategies.
Thanks, Terence ol' boy.
