    @28:00 What an exciting match turnaround Alan dancing with double six's & Alec's double ones, then Alan's six prime! Congradulations Alan you prevailed with 5 seconds to spare ;)!

      Thanks for your comment. I don't see anything at 13:00 . At 12:46, Black rolled a 5/4 and moved the checkers accordingly.

    15:54 Silver rolls 55 but plays a man from his 10 to his 6 - 4 pips. Nobody catches it.

    Another proverb I've heard is something like "prime an anchor and attack a blot." So wheneve my opponent has only one checker in my homeboard and is a threat to escape, I hit. Usually, if the opponent only has one chevker back and you have both your checkers back, you're behind in the race, which calls for a bold move. XG puts a premium in containing opponents checker, so usually one is not far from the mark if they attack a single checker, and if thats not possible then improve structure so that its hard to escape.

    @wiko9660 2 місяці тому

    Hi, thanks for your videos, trying hard to improve with it. I was surprised about the discussion at 28:10. Maybe it's because I'm not so advanced but I would have immediately slotted the 4pt to make it later and wait for a shot. However, I was interested in what happens if you move the blot from 24 to 23, so you could make the 18pt. I found out that now slotting the 4pt is still the best but there are 6 moves really close to each other, and making the 18pt is none of them. Maybe it's too easy then for black to jump behind

    In the first position if you move black's 5 point to her 4 point, it becomes a small pass.

    I like how we recreated the first few rolls by putting the dice on the board so it's convenient for the transcriber.... and put the dice in the on the board in the one spot that had the most reflection and hardest ro read!

    • @sunnyfloridabackgammonclub
      @sunnyfloridabackgammonclub 7 місяців тому

      Hello and thank you for your comment. The issue with the glare on the dice is the lighting. It's just as bad for the black dice as it is for the white dice. Unfortunately , our venues have lights above the playing area . The direct light causes glare on the dice. Look at our "Non-Tournament" playlist and you'll see that there isn't any glare on any of the dice at all. In the "Non-Tournament" matches we play at a private site where we have control of the lighting . We've tried our best to avoid direct light on the playing surface but it just isn't possible.

    Why does white get to shut the clock off?

    • @sunnyfloridabackgammonclub
      @sunnyfloridabackgammonclub 11 місяців тому

      Hi, thanks for your question. What do you mean? Are you referring to white hitting the clock when he had 15 seconds left in the last game ? If so , it's because he couldn't move .When a player can't move he hits the clock right away. Remember , black can't roll until white hits his clock. Does this answer you question ?
