Free Backgammon Software Downloads

GNUbg is an amazing piece of software for the aspiring backgammon student. Configurable computer opponent can simulate checker play and cube decision levels from beginner through world class, using neural net technology and 2-ply move analysis. Built-in backgammon tutor mode can warn you if you are about to make a questionable or bad move and show you a table of all possible moves and statistical data. You can also analyze previously-played games, moves and matches.

GNUbg is available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux, and can also be used as client software for playing at popular online servers such as FIPS. Highly recommended!

Another outstanding piece of backgammon software, Jellyfish Backgammon is free in the "Light" and "Player" versions and capable of world-class play when set at the highest level. If you can afford it, I recommend spending the $220 for the additional features in the analyzer version.

Jellyfish only runs on Windows platforms. Resource usage is minimal, making it suitable for older systems.
