Marc, do you say for GM title u need to play below 2.5 with 300 POINTS...whats the points? and where is i can see how system with grandmaster titles work? thx
Experience points relates to the match length, eg for playing a 7 point match you get 7 experience points. So, to get 300 experience points, you would have to play 43 7-point matches, or 28 11-point matches, or 12 25-point matches, etc.
@@rufust.firefly4890 Beech wood will last longer than MDF. I agree that the price is a bit steep. However You can get one nearly identical directly from FM Gammon. Their Dark Ayse board is the same thing. Just have to change out the color of hinges. Dark Ayse board is close to the cost of the Earth Board. This is what I plan on doing.
TBH, Mochy is miles behind in the race, he is out-boarded and has a blot in-board, most players at high level intermediate or beyond would make Mochy's play here.
This score does not bode well for Dirk's book sales. Isn't it selling for in the region of 99 Euros? That has got to be the most expensive Backgammon book ever. You can get Bill Robertie's ( a two time world champ) latest book for roughly half of this.
@@vladeputinovic6128 Here are some of the latest books and their prices... "The Zizka Method" - $50 (by ZZ) "How to play the opening in backgammon", Part 1 - $45 (by Bill Robertie) "How to play the opening in backgammon", Part 2 - $45 (by Bill Robertie) So, if the price of Dirk's book is 99 Euros then "inflation' is lame justification.
@@neilwaldock6272 Thank you for that Neil, your comment is the first hint I have seen regarding the contents. Time will tell if it's worth approx. twice the going rate.
I think that the target audience for his book will understand that even the best don't perform at 100% all the time, and will still be interested. Grandmasters know that they have the secrets that people want to know, that's why they're able to charge so much.

Mochy's smile at the end is lovely. Fun match! Long live Backgammon Galaxy and the UBC.
This is excellent coverage and commentary! Thank you
Mochy is a dice magician.He rolls what he needs.

By the way, below 2.5 is for the SGM title. For more info, look up BMAB.
wow what a match!
How can we make backgammon more popular in Spain?... 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Its most popular middle east and Asia
For Spania just play it for your self and study for your family and playing with them❤
You can help make it more popular worldwide by liking our videos and sharing our content :-)
I thought that due to the arabic influency, backgammon was very popular in Spain!
Hi Raul, whatever you do it will not happen overnight. One ploy would be some photos in the media of celebs playing the game.
I prefer the Void board over the original Neptune and Earth Boards. That way the trays stay put during game play.
Not at those prices.

@@chriswalker810 I still use the one my mother gave me when I took up the game.
9:44 is the difference between me and a good player

I see that as the best play

Ärgerlich für Dirk …
sehr argerlich, nur um es zu sehen.
if it wasn't for bad luck.....
Make the best play and u still get burned.

@@mobiusklein9140 Those are all good books, but Dirk's is completely different. Not like any Backgammon book produced before.

@@mackenzieusher8025 - You make Dirk's price point sound like a general rule rather than (as I have indicated) the exception.
