:-) Understanding the difference between GG and GS situations is a lesson in itself and looking at the different opening options I understand it better now. Thank you for this. I recently had a debate with a friend about opening 21 with 24/22, 6/5. What do you see as the pro's/con's to this opening?
If you slot 6/5, it's much better to play 13/11 to cover with 6s. However, like I said, backgammon has an element of creativity and I have seen some different openings over the board. Thanks for watching.
I’ve watched this whole series really enjoyed and learned a lot. Could you do one on pip counting otb
Thanks for watching. I'll put one together on comparison counting in the future

I can't follow. Have I been playing this game in the wrong direction for forty years? I've never seen it played clockwise.
Maybe I should be playing white clockwise. Is there a rule about which color plays in which direction?
You can play both ways, clockwise or anticlockwise.
If you're playing with a board, one of the players plays clockwise and one is playing anti-clockwise haha.
