  COVER: Beginning Backgammon is a new and pleasurable method of learning to play this popular but ancient game by matching yourself against a master—Tim Holland. Play the five games in this book, move by move, and you will be well on the road to playing a good game of backgammon—a game you will inprove and refine each time you play. Mr. Holland, who has won the World's Championship of Backgammon three consecutive times and the International Championship of Backgammon twice, is a marvelous teacher; he understands that a novice must enjoy the game to learn it well, and he has incorporated this principle into this book. Beginning Backgammon includes step-by-step diagrams, the rules of the game, and a glossary of backgammon terms.
