Re: Backgammon resources

Heh. I'm not a bridge player but I have heard that Woolsey is very good. If he writes about Bridge as well as he does about backgammon I'm sure it's good stuff.

He wrote what I consider to be the best non-humor bridge book ever (Matchpoints). He is still one of the moderators for The Bridge World's Master Solver's Club. I would have considered him a bridge player/theorist first and a backgammon player/theorist second. (Not sure how others feel about it.) I would have said the same for Jacoby and Crawford (the folks with the rules named after them).

I forgot to mention the strong backgammon playing programs. Snowie is considered very strong but the pro version is about $350. Gnu Backgammon is just as strong a player and it's free. Both will kick a new players butt and, no, they don't cheat with the dice rolls.

Jellfish doesn't even rate a mention anymore? Also free (at least it used to be).
