How to use Backgammon Classic

1. PLAY - You can start a new simple game or a new match game, according with the length you set in the Settings menu. Once you have started a new game, some options in this menu are no longer enabled.
   
   
2. OPEN - This command allows you to continue a saved game or to play in other ways a position you consider interesting. Please note that the loaded game will change the doubling status as it was when the game was played. Current match must be finished in order to allow the loading.
   
   
3. SAVE - Save current game, so you can restore it later exactly from the position you had when you left it. The doubling status and stake will be saved in the same file.
   
   
4. UNDO - You can roll back any move or moves made during a game. This is possible only for checkers movements, not for the cube actions you have accepted or refused.
   
   
5. MOVE - When you cannot decide what is the best move in a certain position, this button will make the next moves for you, as the computer would do if it plays with your men on level two. If you consider this is not a good move, the BACK button allows you to restore the last position and make your own move.
   
   
6. STOP - Pressing this button at any time will interrupt the current game, so you can load or start a new one. But remember, this will affect the score for games or matches with a value according to your position at that moment.
   
   
7. FLIP - You can change the side of your home, to the left or to the right part of the board. This would also change the direction of the checkers movements. Your choice would be saved.
   
   
8. STATISTICS - The new window that appears will show you some values of the game statistics (the current turn and the one before), including game and match odds, equity and dice values.
   
   
9. HISTORY - Pressing this button at any time will display a history of your last 22 matches results. You can see also the time when you played them and how they affected your ratings.
