Backgammon

This game's been a bit of a mystery to me, but recently I've played it a few times on-line for free. Initially my play could at best be described as dire, but of recent I've been getting a bit better. Now last night Youngshanks entered and won an on-line tournament with 32 players, and today he challenged me to a game in the shed. I won 5-1 - you've got to keep the youngsters in their place.
