Backgammon Software
Software is a program - “instructions” - that tell the computer what to do. You can buy software or download free software -“freeware” - from the Internet.

Internet sites offering backgammon games are a dime-a-dozen. You can play for fun opposite programs such as Motif Backgammon, which offers a no-frills, Java applet, with a simple backgammon board, or Jellyfish.

Playing against a program when you are a newbie may be less threatening than playing against a real-live human. On the other hand, playing against a person is more challenging and much more of a thrill! There you are, in cyberspace, in real-time with your opponent who could be on the other side of the world. You may not even speak the same language! Never mind – the online backgammon game connects you and gives you a common language.

But before you actually take on a human opponent, you ought to study the rules to get an idea of what you need to focus on. Backgammon is not just a game of luck! There is strategy involved. Good players are strategists. Backgammon strategy can be studied by reading books or online sites, by watching online games, by visiting forums, but mainly by playing the game against a worthy opponent.
