HOW to PLAY

Here I* the sixth article in a aerie* nn ’Today’s Backgammon” which ha* been written exclusively for The Indianapolis Times and NEA Service by Elizabeth Clark Boyden. She is the author of "Ths New. Backgammon” and coauthor of "Contract Bridge for 1930” and "Contract Bridge for 1931.’’ BY ELIZABETH CLARK BOYDEN Written for NEA Servlea THE initial plays in backgammon can be recommended with accuracy as they are not influenced by the constantly changing positions of the men. Certain definite principles, however, should be kept in mind throughout the play. When a throw permits a player to block a point it is usually wise to do so. It would seem to be wiser to play a man to a point on which another of his men already is resting in preference to leaving a blot. This is not always the better strategy. A legitimate risk should often be taken in the hope of covering and blocking an important point on the next play if the blot so left is not hit. Certain strategic points are very valuable to block and therefore warrant taking this risk. The two most valuable points to block are point 5 in a player’s inner table and point 1 in a player’s outer table. This point 7 is called the “bar point.” Fine players differ as to which of these tw r o points is the

more valuable. If the bar point is blocked, the opponent can not move either of his two men from the player's inner table with a single throw. (Note: A single throw means any number from one to six which can be on the face of a single die. A double throw means a number higher than six which requires the numbers on two dice to reach that point.) WHEN able to block the par point early in the game a player lifcs blocked three consecutive points, which makes it more difficult for the opponent to pass and escape. Players who consider point 5 the more valuable point to block, reason that blocking this point makes one less point on which the opponent can enter if he is taken up and one more point on which the player can take men to safety in the home table. It also has the blocking advantage of the bar point. All points which can be blocked and still keep a player's men close together are extremely valuable. Six consecutive blocks make it impossible for the opponent to pass with anythrow whatsoever. The two most valuable numbers a player can get for his opening move are one and three, which permits him to block point 5 in playing the one from point 6 in the player's outer table, and the three from point 8 in the player’s outer table, or one and six, which permits a player to block the bar point by playing the one from point eight in the player's outer table and the six from point 12 in the opponent’s outer table. a a a THERE are. of course, more valuable throws when doublets can be thrown. When each player throws one die for the opening move* doublets can never be used as the dice must be rethrown in case of a tie. When, however, two people are playing consecutive games, the winner of the first game has the first throw with his own two dice for the second game, and can, of course, throw doublets. (This is true, except in the case of

a gammon or backgammon, when the players always throw again for first move.) The two mast valuable doublet throw’s are double ones and double sixes. Double ones permits the player to block point 5 by playing two men from point 6 and to block the bar point by playing two men from point 8. This play leaves a blot on point 8 which is more than compensated for by blocking the two most valuable points. The throw of double sixes permits a player to cover his own bar point by playing two men from point 12 in the opponent’s outer table and to cover the opponent’s bar point by playing two men from point 1 in the opponent’s inner table.

FOREST FIRES’ TOLUS LOWER Burned-Over Acreage Far Under 1929. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—Despite unusual drought conditions, timber fires in national forests are not taking such a heavy toll this year as in 1929. Except in eastern states, where a continual fire season has existed ever since spring, the acreage destroyed this year has been far below that in the corresponding period last year. “In the west we have had as many fires up to Sept. 10 as we had all last year, but the acreage destroyed has been far less,” Col. R. Y. Stuart, chief forester, said today. During 1929, a total of 775,000 acres of timber burned in western national forests. Up to Sept. 10 this year, but 63,000 acres had burned. In the east, however, where the number of fires this year has been almost three times as great as in the same period of 1929, more than twice as much timber has been burned. Up to Sept. 20 53,000 acres had beer burned in eastern national forests es compared with 24,742 acres last year. CHINA PEACE SHAKY Rebels Threaten Renewal of Hostilities. Bu United Press PEIPING, China, Sept. 29.—The Chinese civil war, which appeared to have ended last week by the inS tervention of Manchurian forces in j behalf of the national government ! at Nanking, threatened a renewal j of hostilities today. Governor Yen Hsi-Shan of Shansi province, who retired as head of | the rebel northern government | when the Manchurians occupied i Peiping, announced at Taiyuan-Fu that the northern regime would be j re-established and Shansi troops I would oppose the Nationalists.
