My name is Malcolm Davis, I’m a professional Backgammon player. I’m here for expertvillage.com
to hopefully teach you basically how to play. Let’s say I’m unlucky again and I roll
five-three, just for a number, doesn’t come in, five-three. Two or more points belong
to my opponent, I can’t enter. Now then, lets say he rolls double fives. So he uses
this one, two, three, four, five, putting me in terrible, terrible danger now because
all I can roll that would give any chance at all is double ones or at least a one. And
he’s only played one five, so now he’s going to rush his checkers around here to
get into position to make this point and to close me out, which means I’m in almost
no chance at all. So, he’ll play one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four,
five and one, two, three, four, five now he’s played five. Let’s say I roll a one six
now. Well, I can bring a checker in the twenty-four point, or his one point, one. But, I can’t
do anything with this checker. So I have to pick up my dice.
