"This well organized primer discusses the checker play
of 120 positions. The positions are each chosen to discuss a prevailing theme such as when to run,
the importance of an advanced anchor, or preventing a double. The book's audience is not for the
beginner, as only 10 pages are devoted to rules, and no pages are devoted to the overly written
about "how to play an opening roll of 3-1." For the intermediate to advanced player the 1-2 page
discussions of each position are insightful. The analysis emphasizes fundamentals and the relative
importance of the multiple objectives of each position. Some topics show two or more subtlety different
positions to highlight the covered topic. Although some of the suggested plays can be shown inferior
through rollouts, the logical analytic approach taken can benefit one's study of the
game." – Walter Swan, February 1996
