Robertie's Advanced Backgammon Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 (the new edition of the original version from 1984 in one volume) is still a masterpiece of backgammon literature - otherwise I would not dedicate a whole page to this book. But our insight about the correct play has changed since good backgammon software is available (Jelly Fish ™ made the breakthrough in 1994). So some of Robertie's recommendations did not survive the bots and are probably not correct from today's view 1) . The following table contains the major errors. It does not claim to be complete, but it should contain the most errors.

The position number in column 1 references the position from the 1991 edition (in 2 volumes). Positions 1 to 200 are from Vol. 1, positions 201 to 400 from Vol. 2. The 1991 edition contains about 200 additional positions compared to the original version. Where I could identify the position in the original edtion I added it's position number in brackets.

I recommend to mark those positions where Robertie probably erred with a pencil in the book before starting to read it. You can read it much more relaxed then.

Where the best move in the column "Best Move" contains a link you can have a look at the position and the rollout results 2)  by clicking on the link.

Some positions contain an error in the position diagram (19, 139, 174, 180, 190, 240a/b, 311), with too many or to few checkers on the board. In two other positions the problem is not correctly verbalized (114, 316). Some of the errors can be corrected as it is obvious how the correct position should look like, others can't be corrected. In the latter case further analysis is unnecessary.
