Just started playing one week ago. your videos have VASTLY improved my game in just two videos. VERY helpful for beginners! Thank you and hope you continue this beg/int series!!
10:24 - you have this statement wrong. The MOST efficient use of checkers is to have the most checkers on your 6, 5 an 4 points and only a few on the 3 and 2 points and none on the 1 point. A right triangle shape is the best shape to have to get the best bear off efficiency of the dice. Verified on XG and in all the BG books. Otherwise good series video. keep it up. salsaguy
I wonder what your galaxy rating is now, in the new galaxy version, 1.5-2 years later. You already seem to be a solid player when you made this video, how far are you now?
