"I personally do not care much about the drawings in the book, but it is a good way to decrease the density of the material for the beginners."
"I still believe that you need to memorise opening replies, but this book will help you with the other part of the puzzle – understanding why you make certain moves and the concepts behind them."
"Great tips to help explain why certain moves (mostly in the opening phase) are correct."
"This book is excellent.It is great for all backgammon players beginners and advanced.Easy reading for learning all types of positions.The second book of the series I understand is coming out in March of 2018.Be sure you get that book also.Michi is one of the greatest backgammon players all over the world and I hope that everyone who wants to improve their game reads both books.Thank you,Michi for such a wonderful book."
"i guess i would say 3.5 to 4 stars but to take on such a project and come at the game in a completely new way....That is really giving back to the backgammon community."
"The book’s title says it all, as one of the world’s top players takes the reader through early game checker positions in a unique way that I’ve never seen in any of the more than two dozen backgammon books in my library."
"I also recommend that you enter some of the positions in XG and see how a small changes affect XG's evaluation, for example putting 9 checkers or more into the zone instead of 8 (a central guiding principle in the book) or move builders around (the 9P builder gets lots of attention)."
And if you want to take your gaming further, there's plenty of advice to get you started in tournament backgammon, as well as playing online. Backgammon is an exciting, tactical game, and this.
