<p>A new variation of modern backgammon has been invented: <strong>ChivaGammon</strong>.</p>
<p>It can be played with or without clocks with the regular time settings. It´s modern backgammon with cube played as a match to 5 points.</p>
<p>However, the Crawford Rule has been skipped and instead, in order to win the match, a player must reach minimum 5 points, but with minimum 2 points difference. Like in Tennis and other sports, the match continues as long as the 2 points difference have not been reached.</p>
<p>It´s a great game, demanding special skills and calculations. Try it out.</p></div><div class="feed-description"><p><img src="images/ChivaGammon1.jpg" border="0" alt="ChivaGammon" width="1947" height="1200" /></p>
