Difficult to find a backgammon course online. This one, on Udemy, was the only one I found. It is a beginner’s course, really basic. An hour and a half of listening in nine lectures. I maybe learned one or two rules that I had forgotten, one or two specific terms that I did not know, and the notation concepts. But apart from that, a little too basic for me. I must say I did like the guy who gave the course, adorable.

“Invented in Persia around 5000 years ago, backgammon is played all over the world from the cafes of Istanbul to the prestigious World Championship held in Monte Carlo every August. It is a wickedly seductive game of skill and luck where in any given game a total beginner can defeat an esteemed grandmaster through hot dice alone but where superior skill will always pay off in the long run”
