Backgammon

Chess is commonly believed to have originated in India during the Gupta empire,[15][16][17][18] where its early form in the 6th century was known as caturaṅga, which translates as "four divisions [of the military]" - infantry, cavalry, elephants, and chariotry, represented by the pieces that would evolve into the modern pawn, knight, bishop, and rook, respectively. Both the Persians and Arabs attribute the game of chess to the Indians.[19] In Sassanid Persia around 600 the name became shatranj and the rules were developed further. Shatranj was taken up by the Muslim world after the Islamic conquest of Persia, with the pieces largely retaining their Persian names. In Spanish "shatranj" was rendered as ajedrez, in Portuguese as xadrez, and in Greek as zatrikion, but in the rest of Europe it was replaced by versions of the Persian shāh ("king"), which was familiar as an exclamation and became our words "check and chess".[20] Murray theorized that this change happened from Muslim traders coming to European seaports with ornamental chess kings as curios before they brought the game of chess.[18] Knights Templar playing chess, Libro de los juegos, 1283. The game reached Western Europe and Russia by at least three routes, the earliest being in the 9th century. By the year 1000 it had spread throughout Europe.[21] Introduced into the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors in the 10th century, it was described in a famous 13th-century manuscript covering shatranj, backgammon, and dice named the Libro de los juegos. Another theory contends that chess arose from the game xiangqi (Chinese Chess) or one of its predecessors.[22]

yes, but only after your opponent has had a turn!

The real answer is no. Doubles does not entitle you to an extra roll and move, but it does mean that you can and must move the number on the dice four times instead of two.

Could someone please translate this answer to English?

2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 = 126

The number is infinite because it is possible for each player to deliberately form blots that the other player can hit all of the time, and a game of this sort could go on forever without ever reaching completion.

You can reenter a piece onto a blot. If it's your opponent's blot, the move captures it.

You take one dice and both of you roll it once. Whoever gets the higher number goes first.

Children of 6+ can play backgammon, preferably the easier version, without the doubling cube. And there are easier versions of the game that are more suitable for children of 4-5.

The blocking game - backgammon without the doubling cube, without the "hitting and entering" part (a point with one checker is considered "closed") and without the regular setup. Instead, the checkers are placed off the board, and the players enter them and move them around the board according to the roll of the dice. To block the opponent, a player can add his checker to a pile of 2 or more checkers of the opponent on a point - once one player's checker tops the pile, the second player is blocked and unable to move.

Blocking express - same as the blocking game, except that every double (2's, 3's etc) entitles the thrower to play the double and the higher doubles.

Blast Off - same as backgammon but with no cube, no hitting, no entering. the board setup is slightly different (two more checkers on the midpoint instead of on the 1-point). The first player who finishes bearing off - wins the game.

When you have a single piece on any point it is vulnerable. It is called a "blot".

If you put a second piece with it is is called "making the point". Same thing if you move two pieces to the same empty point.

If you have two or more pieces -- a "stack" -- on a point, it is called "owning the point".

There isn't any difference, but numbers help to tell how many sentences/phrases there are. Bullets tell when you start a new sentence. :D

There is no limit, so up to 15.

But you are unwise in most circumstances to stack more than about 5, because it does limit your options when you have large stacks.

In a match play event of the "first to x games" variety, when one player gets to within 1 game of winning, the following game is played without the doubling cube (known as the Crawford game).

If the player who had only one to go loses this game, then the doubling cube comes back into the action, even though s/he is still only 1 game away from the win.

The rationale for the rule can be illustrated in the following example: suppose the score is 15-14 in a 16 game tournament. The player on 15 games ought to have an advantage in the match. But if the doubling cube is in play the other player can double on the first move and turn that particular game into a "winner takes all". Possession of the doubling cube returns no advantage to the leading player, because further doubling is irrelevant to the outcome of the match. This would be quite unfair.

it means that you can move six four times. Any doubles can make you go two times.

ABPA Backgammon happened in 1979.

The game of backgammon is commonly known as one of the oldest board games between two players. The game dates back over 5000 years, and many areas claim to have 'invented' backgammon. The earliest known record of a backgammon-like game were the Egyptian/Iraqi games of senet and the Royal Game of Ur, dating back to around 3000 BC. The game of 'nard' was popular in ancient Persia (now Iran) and has been found to be existent in a similar time. The Ancient Romans and Indians of 400 AD had games of backgammon, the Chinese, French and Spanish all had their own variants of the game too. But the first use of the word 'backgammon' was found in the Oxford English Dictionary of 1650, with rules at the time very similar to ours. Overall, we can safely say that backgammon originated somewhere in the Egyptian or Middle Eastern region 5000 years ago.
