The USBGF officially launched in 2010 and is hoping to take backgammon in the US off the respiratory it seems to be on. I am on the board of directors and support all the hard work a lot of people are putting behind this. Read up on all we have to offer and help support the game so 10 years from now I have new fish to fry.
The ideal place for taking lessons. I am part of the 'staff' that gives lessons, provides daily problems and analysis, monthly articles, and other random things under the sun that is backgammon. The only better value for your buck you might possibly get in the world of backgammon aside from our expert tutelage is eXtreme Gammon.
I've written for the GammonVillage backgammon magazine for a couple of years now and they have been in existence much longer than that. They have had some of the best players in the world writing for them over the years so you'll have a stockpile of knowledge at your fingertips should you decide to join.
Bar none the best bot out there today, worth every penny 10x over. I can't say enough good things about this product and its creator in the little space I'm using for links. Speed, price, tech support, playing strength, etc... all unmatched.
Home of the Chicago Point newsletter and of ABT creator Bill Davis. Here you'll find all the major tournaments worldwide, their results, ABT points and past winners and much much more.
Tom Keith has been collecting and archiving great backgammon knowledge over the years. His site provides some articles I reference frequently and the glossary has been a big help to my own forums for foreign players.
Kit Woolsey's site also provides a lot of archived information. There is always an ongoing match between Kit and the readers of his site where Kit offers up detailed analysis on a daily basis on his thought process. That alone is worth the price of admission.
Home of the World Backgammon Association which consists of one crazed backgammon fanatic trying to promote bg across the globe. Chiva runs some of the best tournaments and any time you can make it to one of his events you should.
Nactation is often used on the forums and has saved me personally from an early onset of carpel tunnel by minimizing the number of keystrokes I use in naming and saving files, writing posts, and exchanging emails. If you're new to Nactation it may seem a bit foreign but once you grasp the simple characters it will all start to fall into place. It can also help you organize mentally positions or even record a match in shorthand.
The GammonVillage Store carries a large selection of quality backgammon sets and backgammon boards, as well as accessories like dice cups, backgammon checkers, and precision dice. With over 1,500 products to choose from, you'll always find something on sale.
