Backgammon is a very ancient and addictive game.One of the main and common options are long backgammon. They are recognized by the international community as a sport discipline, and for several years now official tournaments have been held.
Not many can boast, not so mucha good game of backgammon, just how much to play, knowledge of certain rules. Here are the basic conditions, mastering which, you can already competently play long backgammon and subsequently reach a decent level.
The goal of the game in this kind of backgammon is to go through all the checkers (counter-clockwise) full circle, go into the house (the last one to move a quarter of the board) and throw them before the opponent.
It is designed for two players.There is a tournament on a special board, which is divided into left and right parts, where 15 checkers are located, each player having different colors. The right to the first move is determined by the throwing out of one zara (the dice), the player who gets more starts first. If the number of points is equal, then throw the gap again.
In the game "long backgammon" rules allow you to declarevoid the opponent's throwing charge, saying during the throw the word "kestum". When casting, both halves must fall and steadily lie on one side in one half of the board. If this does not happen, then the cast is repeated. The number of points dropped determines how many "pips" the player can move the checkers. It is not allowed to draw two checkers by the number per one die. When the same number of points (double, gosh, pash, kush) falls on both bays, they are doubled.
On one field it is allowed to put unlimitedthe number of checkers, but can not be placed on the opponent's cage. You can lock the passage of your opponent's checkers by building six of your checkers in a row. It is forbidden to block all 15 pieces of another player - at least one third-person checker must pass into the house.
If the player does not have any options for the move, thenThe glasses thrown out on the bins disappear and the course passes to the enemy. If there is such a situation, when you can make one move, the player must choose a larger one.
The initial position of checkers when playing backgammon rulescalled "head", so the initial move is called "take from the head", and it is allowed to shoot only one checker per turn (the exception is the first move, where 3: 3, 4: 4 and 6: 6 are the same). In case of loss of these combinations during the first move, only two pieces are allowed to be removed. When the second player has more variants of loss of a pay, with each variant it is possible to remove from a head two checkers. He, in addition to the opponent's head, will be hampered by those checkers he had already removed: in the event that the opponent threw 2: 1, 6: 2 or 5: 5 in the first throw, then the second player removes the second checker also at rolls of 5: 5, 6: 2 and 4: 4.
There are many strategic and tacticaltechniques of the game, but the main thing is to seize more advantageous positions, ideally driving the opponent into a position where he has no moves for a while - "Mars".
At the final stage of the game of backgammon rulesprovide for the throwing of pieces outside the board. This can be done only if all of them came to the house. You can use the dropped points to move the checkers inside the house or throw them off the fields corresponding to points on the bunk. If they are absent in the senior fields, the player can drop the checkers from the lower fields.
In backgammon there is no ideal version of the move, often you have to choose the best, from several available options.
In the game backgammon rules do not allow to be a draw. The player who throws the last checkers from the house is considered the winner.
