How Not to Suck at Backgammon

This book is tailor-made for beginners and intermediates who want to elevate their skills to an advanced player level. It contains 20 fundamental rules on how to avoid making blunders- knowledge that all grandmasters possess instinctively but might not be obvious to less advanced players. With 18 years of experience in competing, studying, writing books, and giving private lessons, Grandmaster Marc Olsen has compiled a book equivalent to how he would teach in private lessons to a new player. It's the ultimate guide for beginners and intermediates. Its structure is based on practical examples of ideas and logic, training the reader's pattern recognition without delving into unnecessary math and game theory. The book is easy to read for everyone, and the three quiz sections
make it a super fun and interactive experience.
