When I first started playing backgammon, it was a tough process.  A friend and I got interested in the game after watching some pros on television.  We liked what we saw so we went out and bought a board, a “how to play backgammon” book, and went home to figure it all out.  Well, the information in the instructions and in the book were good and gave us an idea of the basic rules and how to understand the book, but it ends up you learn backgammon by playing and two guys who didn’t know what they were doing is not a good way to learn.

That’s when I got online and found out about internet backgammon.  This is the perfect way for new players to get started.  There are free internet backgammon sites that allow you to play against the computer and against other online players.   So, you can get on, start learning through experience, and if you mess up a general rule, the computer will let you know and, if you mess up strategically, your opponent will let you know by taking advantage and beating you.  But, in the end, the internet backgammon players online are really helpful and most of the people I played against gave me really great tips late.

Thanks to internet backgammon and helpful online players, it didn’t take long until I started playing competently and had gained confidence.  Now I’m taking on the real money backgammon games and loving every minute of it.
