20 Lessons for the Developing Player by John Novak & Radek Dobias (2013)
Backgammon Magic is a slight book of 20 “lessons” – interesting positions with analysis – and a potentially interesting idea, which is that neural-net analysis renders many classic backgammon “rules” incorrect. There is a lot of emphasis on play against AI (and some dismissal of the advice and rules of thumb of backgammon greats), and all the problems purely concern checker play.
Interesting idea but major flaw in analysis
