Video Transcript

"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. I think I will arrange a roll, so that I can show an important point or feature as we might call it. Let’s say that I roll a five-four. Which would actually be quite a good roll for me. I can hit this checker now, I’ll leap over these checkers and land on this one. One, two, three, four, five. See he’s exposed, if there were two checkers here, like this, I couldn’t do it. But since he is just by himself, I hit this checker then I continue on to four more pips to safety on this thirteen point, so one, two, three, four, like that and this is safety. "
