In Response To: one year of training. (Robert Andersson)

Do you want to train a complete beginner?

I'd say start with a basic book, like Magriels Backgammon, to get a hang of the basic strategy and tactics. Then play tutor mode with a bot a lot. This got me to around 13 PR in two months, and I didn't spend 6-8 hours everyday on backgammon.

I don't think there's much point studying theory or doing rollouts at the beginning.
