In Response To: Re-review of Corbett's book (Jim Allen)

I've read the entire book and, though some of Stick's points are valid (particularly on rollouts), I found it an enjoyable read with a number of most interesting positions. I think I learned some things and discovered other things to ponder more seriously.

It's nice to have a book that is both enjoyable and instructional. Many backgammon books (I won't call names) are about as interesting as reading the white pages.
