Remember that you should always move your checkers counter-clockwise, moving from your opponent's home court to your own. You can move your checkers to a point with no checkers on it, a point with one or more of your checkers on it, or a point with one of your opponent's checkers on it. An open point is any point on the board that is not occupied by two or more opposing checkers. The players must move their pieces from opposite sides of the board, so one player's 1st point is the other player's 24th point, one player's 2nd point is the other player's 23rd point, and so on. The triangles are numbered from 1-24 in most of the Backgammon boards, with the 24th point being the furthest point from the player, and with 1 being the right most triangle on the player's home court.The player moves his checkers from the direction of the other player's home board in a horse-shoe like direction, moving counterclockwise.The home boards are opposite each other, and so are the outer boards, which are located in the left quadrant. Each player's home board is positioned on the right quadrant closest to the player. The players sit facing each other at opposite sides of the board when they play.The intersection of these four quadrants, the middle of the board, is separated by a ridge called the bar. There are four types of quadrants: the player's home board and outer board, and the opponent's home board and outer board.
The triangles alternate in color and are grouped into four quadrants of six triangles each. Backgammon is played on a board that consists of 24 narrow triangles that are called points.
