It is very important for players to understand how to play unlimited games before progressing to matches. Since December 2016 I have been running an unlimited backgammon game on Facebook with the aim of having fun but also learning something along the way.

If you want to play along with us just join 👫 Humans vs 👾 XG Backgammon on Facebook. We play one move per day and welcome players whatever you experience.

You can follow the games that we have played here with some comments from me.

For those of you that you need to brush up your backgammon skills I have put links to Bill Robertie's Problems of the week. You will find 186 free lessons on backgammon which I think are worth studying.

I have started putting together some of my own lessons, partly to share this wonderful game and partly because I think by putting down my thoughts it will help me improve my own game. If you see something that I haven't mentioned please do add a comment to the bottom of the lesson page.

I have just created BG Quiz. Read more about it here.

Finally, if you are in London come along to CityGammon which meets every Wednesday in the City of London.

Good Rolling
