In Response To: Rereading Advanced Backgammon by Robertie (Stick)

Everything below is taken from the first chapter. 39 pages of 267, there is plenty more.

My best guess (see J. Bagai's book Classic Backgammon Revisited and T. Zimmer's work in Backgammon Today) is that about 10% of the 400 solutions in Advanced Backgammon are wrong -- about 28 problems in volume 1 ("positional play") and about 12 problems in volume 2 ("technical play").
