A common question among beginners to the game of backgammon seems to be "what is the best way to learn backgammon and improve my game?" If you ask me, this question only has one answer-GNU Backgammon!

GNU BG is a free backgammon software that you can download. You can use it as a tutor-it will teach you all the rules of the game from the first roll to the bearing off at the end. You can use it as an opponent-choose a skill level and play against the computer to strengthen your skills. GNU even analyzes your games and gives you pointers on how you can improve your game, shares strategies and can even tell you the best move in a given situation. And the best part about GNU is that it's free! You can find this software available for download in many places online-just do a search for gnu backgammon in any search engine.

I learned to play the game before the amazing world of online backgammon was created, but if it had been around I would have chosen this method of learning, hands down! Even though I am pretty confident with every aspect of my game I too use GNU for advice on occasion!

Once you have honed your skills using this software you can go show off your skills against opponents on all the backgammon sites-from FIBS to GE to GG and more! GNU is a great tool, so have fun with it!
