Doubling strategies for backgammon-like games
E. O. Tuck · ANZIAM Journal · 1980
Abstract Optimal strategies are obtained for two-player games with an alternating staek doubling option. A complete two-parameter analysis is provided for games that must end within two moves, and a recursive procedure then enables a solution for games of any number of moves. Examples are given of relevance to extureme end games in backgammon.
