It has seen a rise in popularity among the general population since it became more accessible and affordable online.

Although backgammon can only be played online vworld 88 between two players it is still very entertaining. It is like other online games where the winner is partially determined by luck. A throw of the backgammon or online equivalent dice is arbitrarily determined. Both brick-and mortar and online backgammon players are aware that more skilled players who know the game well have a better chance of winning.

Here are some basic tips for online backgammon that are based upon real-life counterparts.

1. You will learn how the checkers move during the game. Know which checker movements allow you to have an arsenal of smart checkser moves for backgammon games. They include:

– The number of numbers placed on each die corresponds with two different checker moves

A player can choose to play one or both of the numbers of the dice rolls to move one of his checkers.

– A checker can be moved to any spot on the board where it is occupied either by one of its own checkers or to a place with only one opponent’s checker.

If two dice are rolled with the same number, a player can double their amount by moving one checker in the spaces totaling the doubled number, (b), moving two checkers twice as many spaces on each of the dies, (c), moving one checker twice the number shown on one die, (d) moving four checks the number of spaces in one die and then moving two more checkers each equal to the number shown on the other die.

2. Points. These are the points rules for the backgammon board:

– A point with at least two of a player’s checkers is considered an “owned” or “made” board. It can not be occupied if a checker from another player attempts to take it.

– A player can add as many checkers to a point until it is full

Two or more points in succession is known as a “prime”, and it is a very effective strategy.

A “full prime” is a sequence of six consecutive points. This can trap all the checkers and make it impossible to break.

3. Blots and the Bar A blot is one checker that occupies a particular point. When an opponent’s checker is placed on the same spot, a player’s “blot” is removed. This move is known as a hit. The player’s blot is removed from a point when an opposing checker is placed on the same point. A checker placed in the bar will not be allowed to enter the opponent’s boards until it is re-entered. Re-entry from a bar is possible if the numbers on the next die roll are equal to the number of points occupied by one or more of the opponent’s checkers. A “shutout” is when an opponent controls all six points of the board. In these cases, no checker can reenter from the bar. The player must let the opponent roll until he opens one of those points.

4. The bear off is the end. This occurs when at most 15 of a player’s checkers get to the homeboard and the begins to remove their checkers from it. The game is won by whoever has the most checkers.
