BackGammon Opening Moves – Step One: What to know before you
study strategy
The basic rules of Online Backgammon are simple
and not difficult to follow. I learnt to play as a child, rolling
the dice and making whatever moves seemed appropriate to get me
around the board quickest.

Backgammon: Skill or Luck?
Is Online Backgammon a mostly a game of chance or a game
of skill? In any game that involves rolling dice, a certain amount
of chance or luck comes into play. But how much? There may be no
definitive answer to that question, but that doesn’t stop
the debate. Some people claim online backgammon is purely a game
of chance.
What
is Match Play in Online Backgammon?
I would say at least one-third of the homes in America have a backgammon
set in the closet. This is approximately the same number of homes
that tune into desperate housewives every week, do not consider
cats a symbol of evil, and are still breathing asbestos insulation
without their knowledge.
When to Double in Online Backgammon
Things just go better in twos. That is why Little Caesars has a
little cartoon Roman running around in its commercials yelling “Pizza
Pizza!” at anyone who even looks vaguely interested. Doublemint
gum has employed twins who look the Olson sisters to stroll around
town in matching outfits trying to convince us to chew gum.

Backgammon Strategy – Anchoring
We have all heard the term that the "best defense is a good
offense". I’m not sure where this started but it sounds
like something General Patton would have said. A good offense does
not always include being on constant attack, but can occasionally
involve simply holding your ground in a strategic spot, and getting
in the way of the enemy.
Backgammon Strategy – Blocking
Creating a blockade has been the key to victory in a number of circumstances.
The French fleet blocking off British ships during the American
Revolutionary war is probably one of the main reasons we are a nation
of coffee drinkers instead of a bunch of colonies who sip tea while
daintily chewing on crumpets. During the Civil war, it was a blockade
that kept supplies from the Confederate troops, and an army of gray
coats out of Washington.
