Takht-e nard
I believe its called Takht-e Nard.Khosrow II 01:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Would you mind looking at Tables (board game)? There are references there to a "long narde" and a "short narde", which appear to be distinct from takhte nard. I am having trouble sorting all of this out. &mdash;ptk✰fgs 01:58, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * In Russia "short nardy" usually means standard (western/international) backgammon. "Long nardy" usually means classical nardy, i.e. a) no hitting - single checker blocks a cell b) all checkers of a player start on one cell c) both oponents move in the same direction d) no doubling cube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.149.5.253 (talk) 00:24, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Wrong diagram
The diagram supposed to give the initial setup is wrongly drawn. Black's do not mirror White's pieces. Contrary to what the text says. I do think that the correct position can be found in the reference, https://www.ancientgames.org/nard-original-backgammon/. Then what is wrong in the diagram is White's positions which should have 3 pieces on point 8 instead on point 9. Black's positions seem correct.Cazaux (talk) 15:25, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * you're right, in creating the diagram, an error was made on one of the points. It is meant to show the same basic layout as the reference. Thank you for spotting that. Bermicourt (talk) 16:22, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I've updated the image at Commons, but it's not displaying the update here, so I've posed a question on their Village Pump. Bermicourt (talk) 18:04, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
