This is a quick introduction on how to play backgammon. Without confusing the viewer with obscure details, I am giving just enough information to understand the object of a backgammon game and the basic backgammon play process. Backgammon is a special game. It is not a simple game of chance like roulette or craps. Nor is it a simple game of logic where the stonger player almost always wins. It is a perfect balance of mostly skill but with just enough luck thrown in to make things interesting
To appreciate fully the game of backgammon, one must learn it from an expert. There are several software programs that play backgammon at a world class level using sophisticated AI neural net programming technology. [gnubg, jellyfish, 3dfibs].
I play backgammon online at FIBS (www.fibs.com) and I use my favorite backgammon program 3DFiBs from http://download-texas-holdem-poker.com/backgammon/3dfibs.html
