—To Bear off

the Checkers—

The player begins to bear off the checkers from the board when all 15 of his checkers have been moved into his inner home table. In Diagram 2, if a six and a four are rolled, a checker from the four-point is removed. Since there are no checkers on the six-point, a checker on the next highest point, in this case the five-point, is removed.

—Rules of

Backgammon—

• Each player moves his checkers

to his own inner home table.

• When you have two or more

checkers on a point (a closed point),

your opponent is not permitted to

land on that point.

• When you land on a point that is

occupied by one of your opponent's

checkers, that checker is bumped off

the board and is placed on the bar in

the middle.

• When you throw doubles, you can

make 4 moves with the same checker

or move any other checkers in any

combination possible.

• You may move to any point that

is: 1) clear of any other checkers, 2)

occupied by one or more of your own

checkers or 3) occupied by only one

of your opponent's checkers. Your

opponent's checker is then removed

to the bar.
