Backgammon is a game of luck and skill. It is the oldest board game recorded in human history, most probably dating back to the Persian Empire some 5000 years ago. The ancient Greeks as well as the Romans played it. The game we know today was refined in England in the seventeenth century, which is also when it acquired its name, Backgammon.
Backgammon - 2004 Edition
2004 edition with a new foreword by Renee Magriel Roberts. Backgammon is the most highly-regarded work on the subject, often referred to as “The Bible” of the game. Written between 1973 and 1976 by Paul Magriel and Ren?e Magriel, Backgammon was the first book to lucidly explain the inner workings and advanced positional play of the game. The most important aspects are broken down into their component parts and then explained with a unique, easy-to-understand, step-by-step building-block approach. The book is enhanced by 600 clear and precise diagrams, a glossary and tables, including the betting odds. For any player who means to take the game seriously and wants to play well, Backgammon is an indispensable guide. This new 2004 edition of also includes a lively behind-the-scenes foreword by Ren?e Magriel Roberts that illuminates the man behind the name “X-22″ and describes the creation of the book. Having stood the test of time for over a quarter-century, Backgammon is still the best and most widely recommended and quoted standard instructional manual and reference work on the game for novice and expert alike.

Customer Review: The definitive work
I had read that the book was “the Bible” of backgammon. But I think it is more than this, it is the definitive book on the game, it is the Bible, the Torah and the Koran all together. Other books simply repeat - sometimes with other words - what Magriel has said. Besides he goes deep in his comments on various aspects of the game like “builders”, flexibility and so on. If you are interested in the game or want to improve this is THE book!
Customer Review: Early Edition - Superceded by 2004 Edition
This is the early edition of the book, without the 10-page foreword. See the 2004 edition for an interesting introduction to Paul Magriel and the creation of this book.Backgammon - 2004 Edition
