If someone knows where to find information about correct replies to opening movies ?
For ex. opponent rolls 6-1 at the opening and you roll 4-3, or 2-1 or 5-4 i think its a good idea to learn them by heart.

I know it depends on match score when you leading you make "safe" oppening not to get gammoned and so on, but there must be some general information about correct replies.

There's a fairly large section on the replies to the opening move (and the ideas behind them) in a new book "How to Play the Opening in Backgammon, Part 1". You might find it interesting.

With a bit of luck, the author might read this and publish a table of contents.
