Books on Backgammon Match Play

Many players purchase backgammon books, only to find that they are more geared towards money play and less towards backgammon match play. While it is important to have books with backgammon tips about money play, backgammon match play is just as important. There are several titles worth pursuing for this kind of play.

The most popular book for backgammon match play is Kit Woolsey's "How to Play Tournament Backgammon". Another favorite in the industry is the book, "Backgammon Boot Camp" by Walter Trice, which has an excellent selection of tips and strategies for match play. Also, check out titles by Danny Kleinman.

A backgammon book that covers match play for advanced players is Paul Lamford's "Improve your Backgammon", although there have been mumblings in the industry regarding the doubling tables in the text. The general idea is to read as much about backgammon match play by various authors as you can, to get a wider idea of the subject and make your own calculated decisions and create your own strategies based on the information at hand.
