3) While it would be nice to see Backgammon Encyclopaedia Volume 2 it would take a very large number of volumes to cover all aspects of the game

That is otherwise known as my flash drive.

4) Most people use a mixture of reference positions plus some sort of PRaT (Position, Race Threat)

I never think about PRaT - while you may still be able to break down what I do and fit it into PRaT, I never think about it that way.

5) Note that any such techniques need to be able to be applied under the time constraints of modern tournaments - quite a tall ask. Analysing with XG in the calm of one's study is one thing - playing tournament backgammon quite another.

Horseshit. If you spend your time doing the work at home then the it will never be a problem regardless of the time constraints live.

7) My one exception is 'Backgammon for Dummies'

Any 'for dummies' book is going to sell out of the ball park. I liked your printing and you did a fine job, I read/reviewed the entire thing. Thanks to the staple though it was bound to sell regardless.

9) So any volunteers to write "Doubling in Backgammon - The Definitive Guide"?

See flash drive and insert lazy.
