About the book:
It is generally agreed that cube decisions are the most important decisions in backgammon.
An individual play may improve your chances of winning the game, but a cube decision
affects the stake for which the game is played.
A player who is savvy with the cube will have an advantage over an opponent who moves the
checkers slightly better but makes inferior cube decisions. Thus, it is vital to
understand cube decisions in order to be a winning backgammon player.
The goal of this book is to establish a set of reference positions for which we know the
equity and proper cube action. Woolsey has with the use of Snowie rollouts produced an up
to date collection of reference positions we see everyday in holding games, anchor games,
early blitzes, priming games, races and back games. He then discusses 210 positions and
resulting variations in an easy to understand and instructive manner, which results in an
understanding of concepts rather than the memorizing of numerous positions.
