Opening concepts for backgammon players

Roland Herrera organizes this backgammon guide around 21 author-created proverbs and concepts, using them as tools for solving positions and examining opening play. The first two chapters introduce 12 basic proverbs, followed by six advanced proverbs in the intermediate chapters; three further concepts anchor the advanced section. An appendix covers three basic actions in backgammon and is identified as a starting point for newcomers. The chapter progression gives the book a clear route from fundamentals toward more demanding positional problems.

  • Newcomers seeking an introduction to basic backgammon actions.
  • Beginner and intermediate players who want to work through opening-position problems.
  • Advanced players interested in the book’s additional concepts for opening play.
