Player #18227099, it is probably a reversible set, with chess and/or checkers on the outside, and the backgammon board inside.

This is wrong! I have never played Backgammon on checkers. Backgammon uses parallel lanes and dice to move the pieces from left to right. It is quite common to have checkers on the outside as a second game board for playing checkers but backgammon is inside and does not use the checkers.

“Checkers” would be what they’re calling the discs used for the game.

Those are not checkers they are usually called stones.

Travel to Arabic countries, and see countless men (not women - maybe it isn’t proper) playing in cafes, parks. Omar Sharif was a recognized world-champion. The best part is, doubling the bet. (You gotta play for money. Would you play poker for “fun”?). Because if the player is way ahead, stop the game. Don’t make it torturous. Start another game. If you’re a pro, you move your men at lightning speed. Fast! Fast! You roll and move the pieces without having to count. FAST! Like a pro. I play like a pro. I still lose. It’s just luck, after all. No strategy looking for a “tell” in the opponent, like poker. Just pure luck. I love it!

I have always referred to those so-called "checkers" as stones.

Player #16971410, when they write 'checkers', they mean the tokens or markers. it confused me.
