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. Let’s say I’m unlucky again and I roll five-three, just for a number, doesn’t come in, five-three. Two or more points belong to my opponent, I can’t enter. Now then, lets say he rolls double fives. So he uses this one, two, three, four, five, putting me in terrible, terrible danger now because all I can roll that would give any chance at all is double ones or at least a one. And he’s only played one five, so now he’s going to rush his checkers around here to get into position to make this point and to close me out, which means I’m in almost no chance at all. So, he’ll play one, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five and one, two, three, four, five now he’s played five. Let’s say I roll a one six now. Well, I can bring a checker in the twenty-four point, or his one point, one. But, I can’t do anything with this checker. So I have to pick up my dice. "
