Description

In a category all by itself, Paul Magriel’s Backgammon is often called “The backgammon bible.” It is the one indispensable book for all students of the game. Magriel was the first to thoroughly systematize the essential strategic game types (Running, Holding, Priming Attacking) and to articulate, with vivid clarity, many of the concepts (“Golden Point,” “Safe Play vs. Bold Play”) that form the vocabulary of modern backgammon analysis.
