Imithetho ye-I-backgammon

I-backgammon ngumdlalo wabadlali ababili odlalelwa 

ebhodini elinonxantathu abancane abangu-24

 ababizwa ngokuthi ama-point. Ama-point ahlelwe abe ama-quadrant amane, ngayinye inama-point ayisithupha. Umdlali ngamunye unamatshe ayishumi nanhlanu ombala wakhe. Ukuhlelwa kokuqala kwamatshe kuboniswe esithombeni esingezansi.

Uhlangothi ngalunye lwebhodi lune-

zinxantathu ezinde ezingu-12

 ezibizwa ngokuthi ama-point. Ekuqaleni komdlalo, amatshe abekwa ebhodini ngokuhleleka okuhleliwe, okuboniswe ngezansi.

Ibhodi lasekhaya

 liyingxenye yebhodi equkethe indawo yasekhaya yomdlali. Esithombeni esingezansi, ibhodi lasekhaya likaMhlophe ligqanyiswe ngombala okhanyayo, kanti ibhodi lasekhaya likaMnyama liboniswa ngombala omnyama.

Ama-point 

aphinde afakwe izinombolo

 ukuze kube lula ukubhekisa kuwo. Isithombe esingenhla sibonisa ama-point okuqala ayisithupha afakwe izinombolo zikaMhlophe noMnyama ngokulandelana. Ibhodi lasekhaya lomdlali ngamunye liqukethe ama-point 1 kuya ku-6. I-point 1 likaMnyama liyafana ne-point 24 likaMhlophe.

Abadlali bobabili 

bahambisa amatshe abo

 ngezindlela eziphikisanayo emzileni oqhubekayo omise okwesicathulo sehhashi. Bobabili abadlali bahambisa amatshe abo bebheke ebhodini labo lasekhaya.

Umdlali oqala 

uphonsa amadayisi amabili

 (lokhu kwenziwa ngokuzenzakalelayo emdlalweni). Izinombolo eziphonsiwe zibonisa ukuthi umdlali angahambisa amatshe akhe ama-point amangaki. Amatshe ahamba phambili njalo. Kusebenza le mithetho elandelayo:

I-point ehlalwa itshe elilodwa lanoma yimuphi umbala ibizwa ngokuthi 

i-blot

. Uma itshe eliphikisayo lihlala ku-blot, i-blot iyashaywa bese ibekwa ku-

bar

.

Njalo uma umdlali enetshe elilodwa noma ngaphezulu 

ku-bar

, isibopho sakhe sokuqala ukufaka lawo matshe ebhodini lasekhaya lomphikisi. Itshe lifakwa ngokulihambisa ku-point evulekile ehambisana nenye yezinombolo eziphonswe emadayisini.

Uma kungekho ma-point ahambisanayo avulekile, 

umdlali ulahlekelwa yithuba lakhe

. Uma umdlali ekwazi ukufaka amanye kodwa hhayi wonke amatshe akhe, kumele afake amaningi ngangokunokwenzeka futhi alahle ingxenye esele yethuba.

Ngemva kokuba 

itshe lokugcina

 selifakiwe, noma yiziphi izinombolo zedayisi ezingakasetshenziswa kumele zidlalwe ngokuhambisa noma itshe elifakiwe noma elinye itshe.

Uma umdlali 

esehambise wonke amatshe ayishumi nanhlanu

 waya ebhodini lasekhaya lakhe, angase aqale ukukhipha, okusho ukususa amatshe ebhodini. Ukuphosa u-1 kungasetshenziswa ukukhipha itshe ku-point 1, u-2 ku-point 2, njalo njalo.

Ukuze 

ukhiphe

, hambisa itshe liphume ebhodini lisuka ohlangothini lwebhodi lasekhaya. Ibhokisi lokubonisa libonisa amatshe asevele ekhishiwe abadlali bobabili.

Idayisi alinakusetshenziswa ukukhipha itshe ku-

point enenombolo ephansi

 ngaphandle uma kungekho matshe kuma-point anezinombolo eziphakeme.

Umdlali 

akudingeki ukuthi akhiphe

 uma engakwazi ukwenza omunye umnyakazo osemthethweni.

I-doubling cube

 ingasetshenziswa kumdlalo womqhudelwano ukukhulisa iziteki nokwengeza ukujula kwamasu. Ekuqaleni komdlalo, i-cube isendaweni emaphakathi ekhoneni eliphezulu kwesokudla kwesikrini.

Ngesikhathi i-cube isendaweni emaphakathi, noma yimuphi umdlali 

angaphakamisa ukuphindwa kabili

 kweziteki zamanje ethubeni lakhe ngokuchofoza i-cube.

Ophikisayo 

angakwamukela

 ngokuchofoza i-cube, 

noma anqabe

 bese evuma ukulahla umdlalo ngokushesha.

Uma ophikisayo evuma, 

i-cube iyasuswa

 ibekwe eduze kwegama lalowo mdlali futhi ibonise iziteki zamanje.

Iziteki eziphezulu

 zincike enanini lama-point adingekayo ukunqoba umdlalo.

Umdlali okhipha wonke amatshe akhe kuqala 

uwina umdlalo

.

I-

match play

 isho ukuthi abadlali bayaqhubeka nokudlala kuze kube uhlangothi olulodwa lufinyelela noma ludlula 

inani elithile lama-point

.

Owinile emdlalweni owodwa ngaphakathi kwe-match 

uthola i-point eli-1

 uma i-doubling cube ingasetshenziswanga. Uma i-cube isetshenziselwe ama-double noma ama-redouble, owinile uthola inani lama-point aboniswe ku-cube.

Uma umdlali ohluliwe engakakhiphi nelilodwa itshe ngesikhathi owinile esekhiphe wonke amatshe angu-15, umdlalo ubizwa ngokuthi 

gammon

, futhi amaphuzu ayaphindwa kabili.

I-backgammon yenzeka uma owinile esekhiphe wonke amatshe akhe, kanti umdlali ohluliwe engakakhiphi nelilodwa itshe futhi esenetshe elilodwa noma ngaphezulu ebhodini lasekhaya lowinile noma ku-bar. Kulokhu, owinile 

uthola kathathu inani le-cube

.
