BGBlitz is an excellent Backgammon with a really tough AI that is hard to beat and will force you to play better. Unfortunately, 16% of the games will end prematurely until you pay the shareware fee, which I think puts it into the category of "ransomware". But if you're a backgammon fan and like a challenge then look nowhere else than BGBlitz.

I have t admit to being possibly yhe world's worst player of Backgammon so after loads of thought I went straight to the Pro version.
Now the author promises us that this application does not cheat. I am now sitting closer to the computer hoping that some of its dice throwing luck manages to rub off on me. I can be trying to roll a 1 to get back into the game. 10 throws later I still haven't thrown one, whereas if the computer needs a 1 to get back into the game it is uncanny how easily it manages to get one. Just luck?
I have noticed that it throws an uncanny number of doubles right at the end of the game too.
Perhaps I am just being bitter and twisted!!

BGBlitz seems to play very well but the interface and graphics need polish. Some niggles with the interface is that it seems to move your piece instantly not letting you grab the piece and move it yourself. Maybe there's a way around this.
Graphics are too small and rather dull, and the pieces look slightly funky.
I'd recommend Absolute Backgammon although that also isn't in 3D, too bad there seems to be no good 3D games around.
