any books you guys recommend to get better at the game? my checker play is OK but could be much better, and I am clueless with the doubling cube.

Play against jews. I used to hang out at an internet-cafe/hookah-lounge under the freeway in Los Angeles, and this mob of like a dozen hasidic jewish boys would come in around 3am every morning and beat the shit outa me and my friends at backgammon.

That's not realistic advice. But it's a fun game. Just keep playing it.

Marc Olsens "How to not suck at Backgammon" is a good starting point.

Ps:
How have you created this board state?

Seems to be the first image that comes up if you search for a backgammon picture in French.

and thanks, I have watched some of his youtube videos. I am torn about getting Magriel's book 'Backgammon'. on the one hand: "it's the Bible!" on the other hand: "it's dated and the computer has torn it to shreds!!"
