An open point is any point on the board that is not occupied by two or more opposing checkers. The players must move their pieces from opposite sides of the board, so one player's 1st point is the other player's 24th point, one player's 2nd point is the other player's 23rd point, and so on. The triangles are numbered from 1-24 in most of the Backgammon boards, with the 24th point being the furthest point from the player, and with 1 being the right most triangle on the player's home court.The player moves his checkers from the direction of the other player's home board in a horse-shoe like direction, moving counterclockwise.The home boards are opposite each other, and so are the outer boards, which are located in the left quadrant. Each player's home board is positioned on the right quadrant closest to the player.
