I was going for the gammon but that double 5 really hurt me. My win chances were still good but I no longer had a realistic chance of keeping your checkers trapped long enough for a gammon.

This is the classic 6-3 opening, prepares you to escape a back checker or make the opponent's bar point and also brings a builder down for making home board points next turn.

not for money, no. I play on a few sites online for fun though. I'm thinking of signing up for backgammon galaxy because after each game you can look through your moves and learn what you should've done, I think it'll help my game a lot.

how about you?
