Certainly amusing, and while these may be "cool" moves, I'd hope my opponent would rather beat me by playing better than by "catching me off guard" or "making me do the work". I'd even say that most of these tricks should be discouraged in all contexts other than casual play.

I love seeing that great players, like Marc, also remember that the main reason we play backgammon is to have fun! In chouettes and casual play, I make many of these moves (and more) and it is fun. Keep in mind that in a serious tournaments, ALL of these fun moves are illegal. It is illegal to move the checkers in any way that is ambiguous or misleading or confusing....so while I loved this video, it does need to come with a warning about serious tournament (or big money) play.

Content like this is what will bring about a real backgammon renaissance. Incredibly amusing.

Thank you very much, because of you now i play 14 vs 15 checkers because when i threw one from the bar i broke it.

@jamieweinstein7359

Please god don’t ever do any of these things in a real game.

I'm very upset that you posted all of my "boss' moves for everyone to learn.

I like your videos and love the game, but some of these moves are silly and pointless. Besides, I am only able to play online.

How about the double fives with a checker on the bar. If the 20 is open simply take the checker off the bar and place it on your five point.

Loved it... especially the doubling move. Here's one of my little favorite common ones... when doubling, put the cube down on your side, and flick it over with your finger so it slides over to them. With a little practice you can get it just right so it slides across and gently "clacks" the wood on their side.
