Online Backgammon

Backgammon is a board game that relies heavily on skill and practice. The game is, in essence, a race between two players with each player aiming to bring his own checkers into the home board and then to bear them off before the other player does. To play backgammon takes great skill and strategy such as the ability to block and hit your opponent's checkers in order to stump them and set them back in the game.

If you're totally new to the game then a good place to start is at Gammonish.com, one of the best online backgammon resources available. Start by reading the backgammon rules carefully in order to understand how the game is played.

The checkers are moved along the points according to rolls of the dice and the pip count. Strategy plays a big part in determining the outcome of the game and a winning advantage is often established within the first opening moves of the game. Each roll of the dice presents the player with numerous options for moving the checkers and making different defensive and offensive plays. The doubling cube, used in backgammon gambling to raise the stakes, is often used strategically to force the other player into resigning early.

Backgammon is a game with a long and rich history with several variations. It has gained a huge following on the Internet and backgammon online is played by thousands of players from all around the world.
