I like the simplicity of the game when starting contrasted with the strategy of the game as you develop your skill.
I'm intrigued by chess, but have never gotten beyond knowing the basic rules and openings.

I love backgammon as well, and was even taught by my mother in the same manner. When I was about eight years old, I had a blue leather backgammon briefcase that was worth hundreds, but I have long misplaced it since then. It's a shame that now here in America virtually no one pays any mind to it, but I have discovered that some Muslims from the neighborhood are enthusiastic about the game as much as I am.
If anyone cares to strike up a game, I think yahoo caters to nearly any and all classic games online.
