    No, it's risky not playing this way.

    how come in the opening move you only moved 4 two times? because if you roll two 4's you get to move four times or?

    Bucko … you need to be very embarrassed about this "tutorial" there are so many mistakes here you need to delete it.

  13. justgivemethetruth Avatar

    No, he does not know what he is doing or he made a mistake, or just made up a move that had nothing to do with the dice … this tutorial should be deleted … it's just wrong.

  14. justgivemethetruth Avatar

    how do you make that opening move with 2-1 on the dice?

    The first move by white was 4 4 but he moved only 2 checkers

    2 much time on your hands…

  19. Linux5min Avatar

    but what is the other white dice for?

  20. Velocity Eleven Avatar

    but surely if brown gets that piece removed, then it is being sent back the whole way to the start of their path… where as white is only being sent back a small distance

    Can you show how to use the doubling cube? I don't know what it's for 😛

  24. aldld Avatar

    I now consider myself to be a backgammon master, and I don't even own a board 😛

  26. Mystery Avatar

    Thanks bucky!
    I just bought a Board! 🙂

  27. zsmb Avatar

    @mstuie I did the same (Windows 7 Internet Backgammon game, #LOL)

  28. watermelonpizza Avatar

    If you roll double 6's and a checker is on the bar could you move it straight to the 1 point and in this case push the white checker onto the bar? Like they switch position?

  29. drecklia Avatar

    thats what i did on my first game! i kept sending the enemy back to bar and slowly advanced to my home

  30. Don Hall Avatar

    only a noob would make whites first move

  31. ZethSlayer Avatar

    @jakubnage I recommend Minecraft Classic. It's free and fun, if you like that buy Minecraft Beta, it's got way for features 😛

  32. Chobo McChadlin Avatar

    Hey Bucky, these videos are super convenient as I have been wanting to learn this game for a while and even more so since you made that video about making money online playing it (lol).

    However, I was wondering where you would recommend playing online. I am looking for a place to play for free right now. If you can recommend a place to bet in case I get better and feel like it, that would be awesome too.

    Thanks.
