Hardly! *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2013* Based on the enthusiasm shown by the 5 star reviewer I decided to purchase this book as I am always looking for ways to improve my game.Just one small little problem: for each of the positions there is zilch, nada, null, absolutely no commentary about WHY the answer given is the best option.Anybody can run a position through XG, GNU, or Snowie. But it's authors like Walter Trice, Jeremy Bagai, Bill Robertie and Paul Magriel that help your game immeasurably because of the ANALYSIS they provide of a board position. Should you run, anchor, hit, stay back, prime, put checkers out of play and why?This should not be your first advanced backgammon book, not even your second, third, fourth or fifth. Try "Backgammon Boot Camp" or "Classic Backgammon Revisited" instead.Two stars instead of one because the problems given *are* interesting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Backgammon *by B***0 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2015* This is a great book to learn Doublets. I can recommend it to anyone and is a great addition to my Backgammon library of 17 books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly good *by B***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2017* I enjoy backgammon problem books like this. I think it is a great way to learn.All positions are taken from master level matches. You are given the match score, pip count and cube position. But I think all, or nearly all problems would be the same at money play. It shows what play was made over the board, who the players involved were and gives a line or two about one of the players, which is cool.The positions are mostly mid-game which I like. This is where most games are won or lost and where the toughest decisions are. So far, so good. But...There are a couple things I do not like about this book. 1) Some of the problems are just too easy. This is only a minor issue as this number is fairly low. 2) Even just a couple sentences of expert analysis would make a BIG difference. Backgammon can be a mysterious game at times. A number of times I got the play wrong and did not understand why my play was inferior. The computer can tell me that my play is wrong. But only a human can tell me why it is wrong. This book lacks that human insight as to how to analyze a position. And is its biggest weakness. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8128272-playing-doublets-backgammon-puzzles-to-improve-your-checker-play-paperback](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/8128272-playing-doublets-backgammon-puzzles-to-improve-your-checker-play-paperback) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
