I love rewatching these videos they are so helpful. It would be great if you are able to upload some more. You have made a big impact on many of us who like to improve our game. Thanks Marc.
Thanks Marc. It's one thing to watch a great player's moves, either online or in person, but what I find invaluable is the thought process behind why a player like yourself makes a certain move over another. Good BG is made up of small decision changes. One lesser move can make the ensuing game chaotic and sometimes ultimately unsuccessful. Listening to you is definitely making me a better player. Thank you for that. Please keep it up :-)
Thanks Mark, thats very valuable, please make more of these. the position in 41:41 is such an amazing lesson. I would make the same move you made, i understand that its an error but my rookie impulses keeps me unconvinced :) hope to have a match.
SUPERB analysis commentary here. love it. BTW what does the "book" icon do ? when I click on it it doesnt do anything. is that a PAID members option or something or for future use? please make MORE of these types of analysis vids. love the channel and the BG app/site
@@Marcolino10DK Twitch became something like "standard/default" streaming platform, If I would be into streaming my games then I would definitely consider Twitch. Thanks for the great video by the way!
Hi Marc - this is so cool, thank you for this. very helpful for me as a beginner. one minor comment, when you are doing post game analysis, you can see in the video at 33 minutes, your avatar in the bottom left is blocking a good portion of the move log, and also blocks the win percentages later when you look at details. to prevent this, you could move your avatar to the top left corner during analysis.
Hey Mark. I've been enjoying your game play and analysis. I had a thought about streaming while playing. Since it does take extra time to keep an eye on chat and talk through the game, would you consider playing in casual mode? It would give more time for your interesting commentary, it tends to get limited at the end, because time is running out. It would also be nice to turn on checker movement, it would help those that are not as experience follow the checker play. I've been playing on Galaxy and really like it, I know I can turn on checker movement for my pieces, but I can't see the animations for my opponent. I'm wondering if that could be added as a feature. Sometimes it can be challenging to figure out which checkers have moved especially when the roll is a doubles. Adding animations for both sides would help. Thanks for the video.
Marc, your avatar is in the way. Can you move it the next time you go into analysis mode? Otherwise this was a gold mine of instructive nuggets!!!!! Thanks!
He saved the gammon but wouldn't have if you played the double 5s to go for it .. hoping there is an explanation later in the video as you could have won it in one game
Your voice is so soothing. I love watching these videos, where you point things out play by play. Thank you.

Have You considered Twitch streaming of Your games?
Wojciech no I haven’t. Do you think that would have more views?

That dude's avatar has me dying
It’s funny indeed lol. Fun trivia: it’s based on “Graham”, that is a human body designed to survive car crashes :)

I know :) Remember to subscribe to the Backgammon Galaxy youtube channel! That's where all the gold really is! :)
The first opponent must really like umami
Gotta love backgammon. heading home with a pip lead has about a 4% chance of victory in my experience lol.

msudlp yes, I realized that after the show!... :( sorry! I am blocking the “Winning chances” in the analysis mode.
agree i couldnt see the analysis . please move it higher so we can all see the XG analysis not your avatar thanks
21:56 Maybe a video on the Crossover strategy & Triangle distribution
great video with commenting :)
just watched the backgammon 12 part tutorial series. Its really well made. Do you stream on twitch?
Funny, the opponents name, c5h8no4na, is the chemical name for Monosodium glutamate, also knew as MSG "The flavour enhancer" 😂🍜🀄
noob question is there a quick way to see the points #?
P do you mean the points in the match? The big white number board in the left corner of the board is the score.
Please I need to know I’m new . Are the chips supposed to start of in the house or does it have to be set up on board?
The chips should be set up on board exactly as they're shown at the start of each game :)
Big difference between 1-away, 4-away and 1-away, 2-away. You can't pass that one.
what is the platform you are playing on?
This is BackgammonGalaxy.com the biggest and best backgammon site in the World. All moves are analysed by Extremegammon.
Marc, your opponent’s initials are probably MSG since his player name is the chemical formula.
Der nøles 😴😉
The games been around 5000 years, yet now all that matters is the bot.
He saved the gammon but wouldn't have if you played the double 5s to go for it .. hoping there is an explanation later in the video as you could have won it in one game
Guessing your error rate is about 4.5 and his 9.5
4.5???? How dare you... ;) Can you try dividing by 2? :D
error rate 5.8 not 5.2 of your opponent :)
are you a friend of Gus Hansen ?
Yes.
Делай видео с субтитрами! Я из России, половина не понимаю про что говоришь, приходится догадываться!
Initials might be msg.
why backgammon galaxy wants to make us blind?
This player is a grand master and he was thinking about 2 minutes how to play the aces in 8:05???? Fortunately,he played them well.
Hahhahahahhaha.
Ok
if he would roll an ace there I think he would be favor in race but not sure. ruclips.net/video/V8GXbVB08e4/видео.html
Ff
Backgammon galaxy has so many cheaters that ruin the game.
Good player but not a master or absolutely not a grand master just know how to play.
Buddy.. I watched ur game half way. U play with no strategy at all . Let me tell u a tip . Hit don't run. Close gaps .
