It appeals to new, as well as more experienced players. I'm positive that everybody can obtain new knowledge and inspiration. Read it!"- Karsten Bredahl, Super Grand Master and double winner of Nordic Open.

Book excerpt: Backgammon is experiencing a revival, rapidly becoming one of the most popular table games in the world桰nternet included. But it's not just a game; it is an obsession. In some countries of southern Europe and the Middle East, it is a way of life. A typical game of backgammon lasts 6-8 minutes if it is 揌it?or Gioul, and double that if it is Plakoto or Moultezim. These are the fastest, most absorbing minutes in a player抯 lifetime. The game moves in lightning speed and requires total concentration. The mixture of chance and skill are perfectly balanced in 揌it敆the other games leaning heavier on skill. There is hardly a moment of boredom when you play Backgammon. Even when the game seems hopelessly lost, there is still a finite probability of a turnaround. The suspense is always there, the tension is never ending. What more would you want for an evening of卹elaxation? This book is written to fill a void梩he almost total absence of information on backgammon games, other than basic 揌it敆usually called backgammon in the West. The authors find it incredible that Gioul, Plakoto and Moultezim still remain a well-kept secret among backgammon connoisseurs. Gioul is the most fun-filled game played on the board梕very dice throw a surprise. Plakoto is without doubt the king of Backgammon games. Moultezim is a serious game for the purist, the consummate space strategist. Players who are unaware of these games are not really fulfilled. This book, illustrated with more than 300 diagrams, illustrations and exercises, aims to change all that, and turn all casual players into full-fledged backgammon experts. Dr. N. S. Tzannes, a Professor of Electrical Engineering, has authored several books and many scientific papers in his field of Communications. Dr. B. Tzannes, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Patras, Greece, has authored many scientific papers in his field of Topology. The two brothers, well-known Backgammon theoreticians, are also the co-authors of the book How Good Are you at Backgammon? (Simon and Schuster, 1974).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Backgammon - Pure Strategy" goes deeper into understanding the theory of the game, than any other book before it. This is not a beginners book. This is the book to take your game from intermediate or advanced, into the expert or world class level. The book explains how the backgammon AI algorithms (artificial intelligence) work, and how we as humans can get inspired from them. With this inspiration, the book presents a very strong framework of understanding the dynamics and strategy of the game: a human neural net philosophy. But instead of using brute force calculation power as a computer does, we use pattern recognition and conceptual thinking. The second part of the book consists of 129 quiz positions, where the ideas and principles of the first part are put to practice. The reader is encouraged to make an effort to find the best move and understand what's going on in the position. Each position has an in-depth analysis, when you turn the page.
