Review: This is a short fun book of recipes mixed with position discussion by a number of well known backgammon players. It is probably of very targeted appeal, but if you are a backgammon tragic or this is a gift for someone who is, this is a good choice. Review: From the introduction: "In this slim volume you have recipes by some of the game's greatest players and teachers. Each recipe is playfully linked, thematically and linguistacally (Michy's brainstorm), to a sometimes difficult, sometimes easier backgammon position analyzed by the chef. eXtreme Gammon (XG) equity tables for moves and cube decisions are included with each analysis. XG generates these tables by rolling out the positions repeatedly and collecting the results. The tables not only show the best move (on top, in bold), but also the ranking of reasonable alternatives, including equity differences. Differences are shown as negative numbers that tell you how much worse and alternative is than the best move. A difference of -0.200 is a disaster; -0.080 is considered a blunder; -0.050 is a clear mistake; and errors of -0.020 to -0.001 are not worth worrying about unless you play at a very high level."
