Same.

I WAS AWAITING FOR A GOOD MOVE BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED.

@@SkywardSpork I play at this site cardgames.io/backgammon/ You get to play against the computer or other people (recommended, because the computer makes some questionable moves).

It's also really easy to set up a match.

@@DavidLindes Dude... what the duck are you talking about...

That is true. Magriel mentions in his seminal book from 1973 that part of the fascination of backgammon is how a beginner can beat a world-class expert if their difference in luck is great enough. The expert's higher skill can minimize the chance of this happening and stack the odds in his favor, but that's all it is: stacking the odds. It's not guaranteeing the odds. This is why matches of backgammon last several rounds: the more rounds, the less influence luck has, and the more the skill difference can shine through.

thats deep

​@@bennemannapplies to all of life really. Nothing you want is ever guaranteed, all you can do is stack the odds in your favour. Unlike backgammon there's rarely a way of calculating those odds, but they still exist.

I agree with you completely

Thank you Evan, keep on playing. 3.6? amazing. world is changing.

And the checkers, too😉

Yes indeed. Wonder how much it costs??

This is an ancient backgammon rule that is by and large taken out of modern backgammon. Players are no longer expected to wear the colors of their opponents checkers. Yet evethough backgammon organizations do not hold people accountable for not following this rule, some players still like to honor it even today.

@@Jesterday31 Yes, and they must change clothes when their men are yellow, brown, or green, red, or blue. That is where the expression, "quick change artist," came from because they are on the clock.

Oh good so do I m8

I'm sure you've learnt this by now but during the bare off in this situation for example, since he has no checkers in the 4 point, 5 point or 6 point he is forced to take a checker off of the 2 point. if he had no checkers in the 4 point but a checker in the 5 point he would be forced to move the checker from 5 - 1

This looks like an P40 Board. they're like $1000 ish

Players must alternate doubling the cube, so in the first game, he was not allowed to redouble once victory was assured. (I only watched the first 10 minutes.)

First game was good??? Hahahaha

Yes. First game was good! This giannis ola guy must be dumb!

@Codename: Rebirth.Ok let's analyze the first game. 0:17 The girl plays wrong 4/3, you don't play on 24/21. you play on 24/20 and on 13/10. 0:42 The doubles that the Vietcong plays are: the first two correctly but then he has to play one of his checkers from 24/20. 1:10 the 6/6 that the warrior plays are wrong. He has to take two of his checkers from 13/7 and from 11/5 so that it makes five doors and game over. 10:00 he thinks for a minute how he will play 6/4. Fortunately after a minute, a miracle happened and he played it right 11:35 Two minutes he thought how will play 5/3. Luckily after 2 fucking minutes he played well again. How long does it takes to think about this simple movement? .Competitors.Are you listen to me?? Change the fucken rules.Our nerves are broken 13:25 wrong playing by the girl. not from 12 /4 one checker. You have to play from 12/8 one checker and from 4/1 the other. why? Because if girls dice has 5 or 6 in the next throw she will not be forced to take the checker that threatens the opponent in his area, which he did, of course.hahahah. Because brinking the vietkogk 3/1,4/1,5/1,6/1,his checker will be exposed. Tragiiiiiiicccccccccc After my words ,you believe tha the first game was good??? Bye

@@andreagardellin6439 Thank you very much

The game probably originated in Ancient Persia or Egypt. They have a clock with a time limit in big tournaments, so they cannot think too long - they could lose if their clock time is all gone, just like in Chess!

❤

No you don't need to bear off a checker from the 3 point. If you can move another checker with a 3, you can do it. Or sometimes you can move the checker off the 3 with a smaller roll and bear off something else. The only strict rule is that if there is a move that uses both dice, you must make it.

could you specify the minute you watched it?

@@bgmochy 38 minute mark, I understand why now though

@@Wake-up1776 OK, im glad you understand now.

@@bgmochy thanks, I appreciate the reply

You can play either direction, its optional.

Opponent guess that you will lose so he shows a 2X cube for the last score! So if you accept that you'll lose, the opponent get 1 score immediately and they start the next round; but if you accept the cube and continue playing, the last score become double for the winner no matter who.

I was thinking whether I should redouble to 4 or not.

@@bgmochy ah I see. And why didnt you? This game was close to a guaranteed win wasnt it?

@@DaMaartenvdBerg I assume that's because if he re-doubles at 5:0 in a match to 9, he needs to be very sure he'll win because she can re-double to 8 which doesn't make a difference for him, but a huge difference for her, so this is not a normal doubling situation.

@@DaMaartenvdBerg - some position are 'too good to double' ie you have such an advantage that it's best to play on for a gammon. In such positions doubling is an error by giving your opponent the opportunity to pass (get out of jail).

That's not true, the luck is a part in backgammon but the skill is equally good. It's more like skill 50% luck 50%

@@mrmoth26 I have been beaten in BACKGAMMON by sub par players who had a streak of doubles rolled when I couldn't even roll one double the entire game. Sometimes the win goes to the player with the better roll of the dice❗

Nah

You can move and reverse your moves so long as it's still your turn. Usually the end of your turn is indicated by you picking up your set of dice (as backgammon comes with a set for each player) but as they are sharing the set, it is indicated by them punching the clock (or what I assume to be a player's clock, but can't be certain as it's off screen).

Wrong, this isn't chess, your move only becomes cast-in-stone when you hit your clock.

No, it's custom that you don't have to do that in backgammon tournaments.

@@inuksukharata5943 WRONG, the custom is that your move ends ONLY after you pick up your dice. Nowadays, with clocks, there is only one set of dice which are not picked up they are left on the board for your opponent, thus the move is final when you hit your clock. It seems on the face of it that you have NEVER been to a backgammon tournament of any significance, so please stop commenting on matters that you are ignorant of.

It's a kind of joke ...

I always played backgammon the other way around, the first time i watched a game of backgammon i was so confused as well

It is called "backgammon", classical but a very popular game. Google it and try. BackgammonAce is recommended App if it is the first time.

Yes it is

You disagree with the rule of allowing more than 5 checkers on one point? But that IS the rule in standard backgammon. The 5-limit is not played by many people, and it has disadvantages later in the game, where it can prevent and turnaround by stopping the winning player from exposing a checker in the bear-off. Also, stacking 5 or more on one point is mostly a disadvantage strategically, as any backgammon Grandmaster will tell you! And, believe me, they KNOW the "unknown unknowns" of fun-players ;-)

Do u mean the last play.......she gave up.......Never give up in BG......

If I'm counting correctly, at most he would have won in three moves (even with the lowest roll of 2 and 1), and she needed more than three moves (even if she rolled double sixes) to eliminate the gammon.

Andi, they both played well (not perfectly), it takes a good player to be able to see this.

Double round, the winner gets 2 points instead of one

It’s a Doubling cube, it doubles the point value of the game and the other player can accept or forfeit
