"Endgame Technique," second book in the Backgammon Odyssey Series, describes the tactics about bearing in and off. It also covers the technique on how to play holding games. Nono is always with you as he was in the previous book "Opening Concepts."
Im loving this ... Im not even half way through and Ive realised that my understanding of the latter stages of backgammon was childlike! ... excellent stuff ... already looking forward to more in the series.
In backgammon, I've experienced many endgame moments where I feel like I'm making plays with no legitimate reason to back them. This book helped me by defining fundamental rules and easy-to-remember proverbs for endgame strategy. Now I have clearer objectives and easily recognize dangerous positions. Many players oversimplify this part of the game, so it's important to spend time studying it.
