The Bear off
Sunday, January 7th, 2007
Bear off is the final part of a backgammon game. It may come as a surprise to beginner backgammon players that most backgammon games don’t last until all checkers have been borne off and if the game didn’t end to either player passing a double before the endgame, chances are good that the game will end to a double or redouble during bear off. It is therefore important for a beginner backgammon player to know how you should execute your endgame and what are the correct actions in the most common doubling situations during bear off.
