Backgammon: Pointless Points (Lesson 67)

A short lesson on when not to make points. Don't do something because you can! See some tips below. -Do not make points which leave you too stripped in the outfield -Do not make points that will lead to an inflexible position where you will leave shots on future rolls -Do not make points when ahead in the race, just race! -Do not make a point six spaces away from an anchor when ahead -Do not make points to prime yourself further -Do not make points six-away from a point you already have as they can’t be part of the same prime formation
