ABOUT BACKGAMMON:

Backgammon is a game of luck and skill. It is played by two people with 15 checkers each on a board consisting of 24 spaces or points. The checkers are moved according to rolls of the dice. Each player tries to bring his own checkers home and bear them off before his opponent does, hitting and blocking the enemy checkers along the way

Backgammon has been around a long time, with origins dating back possibly 5000 years. The ancient Greeks played. So did the Romans. The game we know today was refined in England in the seventeenth century, which is also when it acquired the name backgammon. One significant innovation of the twentieth century was the addition of the doubling cube in the 1920s.

Backgammon enjoyed a huge resurgence in the 1970s, then again in the 1990s with the popularity of the Internet. The best way to become a better player is to play a lot and today, you can play online any time of the day or night with people from all over the world. You can play for fun, or get serious and become a professional tournament player.

World Backgammon championships are held every year - the reigning (2007) World Backgammon Champion is Jorge Pan.
