1. Bagai identified and analyzed the major errors of the following classic books of backgammon:
![]() • Magriel, "Backgammon" • Jacoby/Crawford, "The Backgammon Book" • Dwek, "Backgammon for Profit" • Cooke, "Paradoxes and Probabilities" • Robertie, "Advanced Backgammon, Vol. 1" and "Vol. 2" ![]() 2. My favourite book of the last years. Should not be missing in any good backgammon library. ![]() 3. In the 2nd edition the problems 32, 52 und 68 have been edited and some minor editiorial errors have been corrected (typos, wrong pipcount, etc.). ![]() 4.

Book Reviews | ![]() |
![]() |
"Jeremy Bagai has painstakingly analysed all the positions in these books [Jacoby/Crawford -
'The Backgammon Book', Dwek - 'Backgammon for Profit', Cooke - 'Paradoxes and Probabilities',
Magriel - 'Backgammon' and Robertie - 'Advanced Backgammon'] using Snowie and
has published 'Classic Backgammon Revisited'. This book contains 120 positions from the
five books above where there is a significant analytical error in the original solution. [..] 'Classic Backgammon Revisited' does not come into the category of 'nice to have'. I believe it to be an essential purchase for anyone serious about developing their understanding of the game." – Chris Bray, in What Colour is the Wind?, p.224 "The best stuff I've seen since Magriel came out. I like the problem selection, the analysis, and the prose. New concepts, and original fresh phraseology. Fantastic!" – Walter Trice |
