Welcome to the 21st century! Pull up to your favorite computer, plug in, download and play backgammon online, 24/7, competing in online tournaments against some of the best of the best from around the world.
The virtual realm of backgammon will be somewhat familiar. For example, there will be, more than likely, a recognizable backgammon board, pieces, dice and doubling cube. How you enter a game, roll your dice and start play will, however, be with the *click* of a key rather than the *flick* of your wrist.
Another element that you’ll have to take into consideration that may have had little influence on your face-to-face play will be – in what time zone are you?
There are, technically, 39 distinct time zones, globally. However, since there are only 24 hours in a day, this is a bit of a slippery slope. Nevertheless, if you know where you are and you can figure out UTC or GMT calculations, you shouldn’t miss a match or an online tournament.
As with offline play, online tournaments have their rules, regulations and variants. Before playing for fun or for money, read everything that’s posted on a site. Not reading everything might be mildly frustrating if you’re playing for free. If you’re playing for money, lack of information could cost you – literally.
Windows or Macintosh, shareware, turn-based (non-real time), neural network player are some terms with which you may be unfamiliar as an offline backgammon player. Now, however, is not the time for cold feet. There has been an explosion of information and resources on the internet that has anything and everything to do with online backgammon.
Since you already have some familiarity with the game, learning the 21st century version will take some time. Do your research, poke around to determine what suits you best – free games or money games or a combination of both; playing head-to-head or playing against a bot. Learn the in’s and out’s of online backgammon tournaments – then, go for it.
When you’ve done your research and reading – imagine sitting quietly with the whir of your computer humming, focusing your skill and experience. You pit yourself against your opponent who is, also, focused on this online tournament in front of their computer – half a world away. Your ‘common language’ is backgammon, that ancient game of boards; played 21st century style.
