Backgammon No Risk Double
When you are positioning your backgammon checkers to bear off and there is
no chance of hitting or being hit, the best strategy is not an even
distribution. A bigger stack on the 6-point, sloping down to the 4 or 3,
is best. Your goal is to get the most use of your later rolls - to not
have to use a 5 or 6 to bear off from the 4-point, for example. This
downward-sloping formation is the best to avoid wasting pips.
