Eleven concept is defending but that´s too easy.-)

In the 6th game, if white was in 9th instead of 10th, would Bar/24, 8/6 have been the first choice?

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Yes, the top move would remain the same. It's Bar/24* 22/20 in both cases

Thanks Dan. This was excellent. Got 5 of them correct but also a big blunder on duplication. Very simple and very useful.

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Thank you and glad you found it useful

Great video/10 great concepts…unfortunately I would have flunked the quiz…makes total sense regarding the correct move(s) once explained by you. Damnation, I can see I have a lot to learn and understand! You are an awesome teacher/player… keep up the “beautiful” videos, Dan!

Thank you for your continued support, David. Be great to do a face-to-face lesson with you at some point. Best wishes.

Hello Dan, great video as always. Make the 2. 6. and 9. wrong; and have internalized well-known concepts even better!!! THX😀

Shared this with my wife who was a huge chess aficionado until recently. Now she shares our obsession 😅 She “gets it now” were her words after you explained what I couldn’t in a very detailed manner. We’re playing 5 point matches every night on a Silverman board thanks to content like this. Thanks man, love your work!

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Love that, Chase. Thanks for watching :)

Another great video Dan. BTW I checked some third rolls searching for non hitting plays with the 53. This is what I found: Third roll: X-54S-53. Opening play which makes the non-hitting (8-3 6-3) 3rd roll correct: 41S (duplicating fours) /51S (unstacks)/54S (unstacks)/65R (One man back)

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Yes, there are some replies such as 61, 22 etc where you don't hit on your 5pt, but these are the exception rather than the rule
