Hints
Always wanted to look like a pro when playing backgammon?
Take a minute to read up on these opening moves – guaranteed to get you off to a good start!
-
6-5, 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2 should usually move one of the back pieces using both dice although you can also move one piece from the back to your opponent’s 7-point and move another piece from the midpoint.Experts disagree on what you should do with the 6-2 but many would prefer to move one piece from the midpoint and slot the 5-point. -
If you open with 5-4, 5-3, 5-2, 4-3 or 3-2 you should move two pieces from your midpoint, although a 2-3, 4-5 and 4-3 can also be used to slot one of the opponent's points and move one piece from the midpoint.
A 5-4 can also be played as moving one of the back pieces nine points ahead. -
2-1, 4-1 and 5-1 – you can use this opening move to split your back pieces or slot the 5-point and move one piece from the midpoint with the other number. It is easy to remember these moves if you take out a board and move the pieces in the correct fashion at least once. Best of luck using them to win your games! -
A 3-1 roll is one of the best opening moves as it will allow you to close your 5-point.6-1 will close the 7-point and a 4-2 will close the 4-point.
