In Response To: Do "New Ideas In Backgammon" rollouts have to be revisited? (Stick)

any big blunders in the original Magriel Backgammon book ?

i'm also a beginner (note the handle :) and recently ordered a used copy of this book which has zillions of excellent reviews and also some muted criticism about some chapters/problems no longer valid now in the post-bot age

is there a webpage, post, book or something listing the "changes" in the Magriel Backgammon book ? robertie did a post over in 2+2 forum about 2 specific chapters that are not really valid anymore but i don't have the link handy

i tried a search for "Magriel" here at bgonline & it returns lots of posts & checking a few they seem to refer to some concept but not specifically about the errors etc

thanks !
