The specifics of the backgammon board set up can be a little tricky for new players to master on their own and, if you’re like me, reading about the set up helps a little but you never are confident you did it right.  When I first decided to start playing backgammon I called my brother since he’s been playing for a while.  He told me I should just look at an internet backgammon site and it would help me out.

So I did and boy was he right.  I found a free internet backgammon site so I could play risk free and it allowed me to play against a computer which made things really easy and not embarrassing.  First, there was plenty of information for me regarding the backgammon board set up and if I had a question I could search it.  So, then the computer would automatically set the board up so I could see how it’s done and, if I tried to make an illegal move it would stop me and say why.  This made learning the backgammon board set up a breeze.  After just a couple games of backgammon I was feeling confident about my understanding on how the game worked and was ready to start playing other online players.

If you’re finding the backgammon board set up a little tricky you should definitely look into a free internet backgammon site.  Its risk free and absolutely the best and easiest way to learn backgammon if you don’t have an in home pro.
