Improving Your Backgammon Game

So you've downloaded an online backgammon program and played numerous games. But no matter how hard you try, your program still considers you an “awful” player. Perhaps you're thinking that you'll never get the hang of the backgammon game? Don't be discouraged! The following tips will help you improve your backgammon game and get the most out of your online backgammon experience.

Firstly, invest in a few worthwhile backgammon books. Magriel and Woolsey have sound reputations as experts in the backgammon game.

Secondly, play your online backgammon program as much as you can. Try and learn from the mistakes you make.

Finally, make a list of everyone you know who plays and challenge them to a backgammon game. If it is difficult to find suitable opponents in your local area, visit backgammon sites and try to improve yourself against those at a similar level.
