When you first start playing backgammon it would be an advantage to have a book nearby which covered all of the basics and more to advance your game as quickly as possible.

The book would also offer solid advice, and demonstrate techniques that would develop an early awareness of the tactics and strategies behind every strong player.

It would be helpful if there were plenty of positions shown that were analysed, and explanations given of just what was going on in the minds of the players.

It would be useful to offer many positions that could be scored, to help assess the reader's  strengths and weaknesses and to help develop an understanding of what makes a good move and why.

The reader would end up with a set of straightforward tools and ideas to carry into every game with a growing sense of knowing what they were doing.
