| Move 1 : (13/11 , 6/5) While most players overlook this seemingly risky play, slotting your home board five point can be very rewarding. If you are not hit in return by your opponent, you will be a big favorite next turn to start your prime with excellent home board blocking points (6 and 5). Move 2 : (13/11 , 24/23) The safer play is often used by less experienced players, and still suggested by backgammon schools for single games. Although it does not have as much potential for gammons and backgammons, this simpler move may still be best for new players. |
