Play65 has added two new speed game modes to its online backgammon platform including a fast game (up to 15 seconds a move) and a lightning blitz backgammon games with only 10 seconds a move and no more than 30 seconds a game.

Backgammon blitz games (not to be confused with the blitz game plan, when a player hits the opponent’s blots in his homeboard in order to make it difficult for the opponent to re-enter from the bar) is commonly played as a side event in many tournaments worldwide, where it is limited to 1-2 point matches. One of the benefits of playing blitz backgammon online is that its speedy time limitation can prevents anyone from using bots.

BGblitz is also the name of the backgammon software used by Play65 when one of the players disconnects in real money backgammon games, or when the time ends before the game, to decide who is the predicted winner and how the stake should be divided between the two players. As you may recall, the software has been recently updated and adjusted to better suit Play65 needs and provide more accurate predictions.
