How do people improve at backgammon? I know how they do in chess, but where are backgammon players so you can improve your rating? What's the best backgammon learning website?
Backgammon is a cool game. I for one had no idea how to play since I've never played it ever and then I went and played an online game out of curiosity and I won 2 games. I still wanted to watch a video on the rules. There's strategy involved and its fun. I'm hooked now :)
When I watch these tournaments I like to pause video right after the die is rolled so I can mentally do the play I would make and see if they would do same play. If they do...cool...if not then I like to learn from the best their strategy.
Nice work but u must know that this people are not magicians for backgammon and also many movement can be different depend what dice u get in next throw..... i watch this game and believe me nothing special this people playing..... backgammon is simple game

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.
At 14:28 he throws a 2 and a 4. Then he proceeds by moving 2 checkers from point 2. How does that work? Can you split a 4 over two checkers? And a little after that the game ends. Why? Aren't all checkers supposed to be off the board? I just started playing yesterday and I'm so confused and full of questions now hahah. Maybe someone can enlighten me!
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
Hello everyone. I'm still a beginner in backgammon, trying to grasp effective strategies. At 2:28, why does Mochy leave a blot in his home board, considering that being hit further along the board tends to carry a greater penalty?
I know, right? The guy needed 6's and he gets 6's. The guy needed 3 5 and he gets 3 5. The guy needs to hit and cover, and he does. Thumbs down for horrible luck sack. He leaves 4 shots and she dances on a 2 point board. LUCK SACK!
She also leaves way too many pips open. There was one point (third round, I think) she had 5 pips open. Who the hell keeps 5 pips open? That's asking to be hit.
@@trumpameri1638 - Her cube handling was near perfect. Cube handling in a match is totally different than in money play, doubling windows change with the score, in money play they are constant.

New player on learning here. Anyone could tell me if is there some etiquette rule which tells the player who are next to victory for don't use the doubling cube? It seems to me that this would be a way to end soon those matches avoind wasting time 😢
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.)
The way we play In Greece you get a slap if you change your moves, 1 move that's it LOL the dude is playing out every combination before finally deciding, what a Malaka !
My favourite player. Classy action Alexandra played well but Mochy had the right decision at the right moments. Enjoyed the game and studied of course !
For the exception of beginners, I believe that the luck of the dice, plays a very big part in determining a match, against ANY player, once you've learned how to move around the board, with a full understanding of how the game the game is played. Having said that, the more doubles that a player rolls, the more likely they are, of winning. No matter who they face. Therefore, Anyone can bite the dust depending on the roll of the dice.
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.
@@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 clearly don't understand a couple of things. One, why is it a player can keep moving jockeying their checkers around? It seems ripe for cheating. And second, why is there such deliberation once your pieces are in your corner? Why wouldn't you just pull them out? (e.g. @13:00)?
@@inuksukharata5943 I didn't say there was cheating, just that it could be ripe for cheating. I would think that picking up the checkers, palming them, etc... then not committing, would be problematic. (say, in a street game)
What's this game called? I never imagined it would be played outside of Greece or that it isn't ours. Ha. Every day you learn something new. Although to be honest, they take a lot of time on their moves.
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!
I am new to this game and wanted to know why they beared off their checkers the way they wanted at the end of the round? I've read that there are very strict rules of how player must bear off checkers. For example: if my dice were 2 and 3; and I have a checker at 3, then I must bear off that checker. And if I haven't got any checkers on 2nd triangle, then I must move the checker that is closest to the 2nd triangle, but further away from the border of the game board. Did I misunderstood the rules? Can you please explain? :)
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.
@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

@@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).
Just watched this again as I detect a worrying trend in backgammon tournaments; the level of background noise is becoming a concern and is at a level that would simply not be tolerated in other indoor games of concentration.
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'm a Beginner. Can someone please explain Mochy's thought process @ 9:42 when he rolls a 6/4? I don't understand why it takes him so long to arrive at his decision.
I think he's thinking about the best way how to bear in without leaving a shot. The 3 Point inner Board of her is not that strong but the 3 checkers on Mochys 3 Point make it difficult to bear in. This is crucial because if you get hit and you fan she can easily play out her Checkers with 4s,5s and 6s from the 3 Point without crunching her inner Board. That's why Mochy carefully thinks about the best way to bear in minimalizing her chances to hit and force her to crunch her inner Board that's why you not only think about not getting hit but also about keeping the 4-Prime long enough that she crunches so that you can easily enter if you get hit. So for example you could play 17/11 6/2 or 17/11 5/1. I analyzed the position in extreme gammon and these alternatives are close but Mochy as usually comes up with the best play 17/7.
Mochy is thinking about 2 minutes how to play 6/1 the first movement. Hahahha. What makes you believe that this movement would played it faster??? Hahahah. He has slow thought probably because his iq is under the average. So dont ask why. Just enjoy it and laugh
Not that I am an expert… But I seriously doubt that Mochy is remotely concerned about being hit. Even if he is hit, he would almost certainly come out immediately, as her homeboard is all but crunched already. My first inclination is that the reason he’s taking so long is to consider if she rolls less than a seven, and leaves her self open to being re-hit, thereby increasing Mochy‘s chances of a gammon

It's quite simple, He's unsure. Fear, can be the correct term to use. The fear of making a costly mistake, could make one ponder on a move, that's a no brainer.
I have never seen anyone throw so many doubles as Mochy in this match. And his opponent had awful dice, just to add insult to injury. There's a lot of strategy in backgammon, but there's a huge element of luck, too, and Mochy had more than his fair share.

How to Use the Doubling Cube Each backgammon game starts with a value of one point. The doubling cube is placed in the middle of the bar and is not controlled by either player. When a player feels he has the advantage in a game, that player can choose to offer a double before rolling the dice-effectively doubling the value of the game. The opposing player can turn down the offer but concedes the game by doing so and pays one point. If the opposing player accepts the offer, the value of the game doubles-from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, or from 4 to 8, for example. When a player accepts a double, he takes control of the doubling cube and is the only player who can make the next offer of a double. Knowing when to accept a double and when to decline is a sign of a skilled backgammon player. www.thesprucecrafts.com/how-to-use-a-backgammon-doubling-cube-409278
@@subyk6046 NO problem. Cube makes the game much more interesting. So this video we played to 9points but using a cube, so it can be finished one game as well.

Its called backgammon, its a very old game and its still very popular in the middle east. There are different types of versions such as mahbuse which consists of starting at the very first line (this version is pretty popular since its the harder version of what they are playing). For starters i guess u can start playing the "backgammon" version they are playing...
Can you please explain (or anyone ) the move 5 & 1 at 18:20 and why you settled with the exposed piece at 18:50. An amateur like myself would have played the one piece 1 and then 5.
She’s on the bar, so she has to roll in with a 2 or a 3. That means that 22, 36, and 23 are hitting rolls for her. Even if she does hit, she will still likely have to split the checker from the 18 which leaves additional shots for Mochy coming in from the bar. Any 3, 12, 52, 43, 16 all come in and hit her blots on the inner board. The play from Mochy increases his chance of a gammon which he did end up getting. It’s also why he didn’t cube. She was very underdeveloped in her board, so the risks outweighed the rewards. He just wasn’t concerned about being hit and he wanted to get more numbers that allow him to make inner points next turn.
there are a few reasons: black has only two slots to get the stone in from the bridge and doing that and making the jump out to the 6-3 point is not likely. But if it happens, black's home is wide open for reentry and has a stone open which could very easily get hit. White also has the two stones on the 13 point that needs to go home and in the event they are split, you want ore than one landing spot at the 6-2, 6-3 point. so on balance, its a good risk ti tke because its quick to recover from if white gets knocked out..
Look. Even if I have a bad opinion for these players(many many many mistakes),at this time surprisingly, the man played correctly. Because he gives his posibility to himself to make a door in his area and on the other hand because the girl in its area is open. If I watch the whole match, I'm sure I will count more than 300 errors. But I dont want because my eyes hurts when I watch players like them.

Checkers may only be moved in one direction (i.e., around the board to your home quadrant), and may not be moved backwards. That being said, players are allowed to "preview" potential plays during their turn, which is why you may see them move checkers one way, then move them back, then try out something different. It helps to visualize what their best play may be. A player's chosen play is set and their turn finished either when they pick up their dice, or in the case where they're sharing one pair of dice, when they hit the clock.
I have no idea, but it is a great game. Try it ! ruclips.net/video/_hCUrQSGqTI/видео.html There must be many free APP out there. I recommend BackgammonAce for a beginner
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).
@@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.

When I watch these tournaments I like to pause video right after the die is rolled so I can mentally do the play I would make and see if they would do same play. If they do...cool...if not then I like to learn from the best their strategy.
Nice work but u must know that this people are not magicians for backgammon and also many movement can be different depend what dice u get in next throw..... i watch this game and believe me nothing special this people playing..... backgammon is simple game

Why is the player playing the white pieces wearing black, and vice versa?
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.

At 14:28 he throws a 2 and a 4. Then he proceeds by moving 2 checkers from point 2. How does that work? Can you split a 4 over two checkers? And a little after that the game ends. Why? Aren't all checkers supposed to be off the board? I just started playing yesterday and I'm so confused and full of questions now hahah. Maybe someone can enlighten me!
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
@@Curdisy bear off
Hello everyone. I'm still a beginner in backgammon, trying to grasp effective strategies. At 2:28, why does Mochy leave a blot in his home board, considering that being hit further along the board tends to carry a greater penalty?
She was outrolled so many times even when ahead.. I wouldn't fill the lottery if I were her, girl has zero luck.
I know, right? The guy needed 6's and he gets 6's. The guy needed 3 5 and he gets 3 5. The guy needs to hit and cover, and he does. Thumbs down for horrible luck sack. He leaves 4 shots and she dances on a 2 point board. LUCK SACK!
She also leaves way too many pips open. There was one point (third round, I think) she had 5 pips open. Who the hell keeps 5 pips open? That's asking to be hit.
@@aarien_of_aurolyth she have very very bad movement in completely this game..... asking for double when she is not in advantage

New player on learning here. Anyone could tell me if is there some etiquette rule which tells the player who are next to victory for don't use the doubling cube? It seems to me that this would be a way to end soon those matches avoind wasting time 😢
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.)
Notice how player with black stones wearing white shirt, while other player is complete opposite.

@@Wake-up1776 OK, im glad you understand now.
@@bgmochy thanks, I appreciate the reply
For the exception of beginners, I believe that the luck of the dice, plays a very big part in determining a match, against ANY player, once you've learned how to move around the board, with a full understanding of how the game the game is played. Having said that, the more doubles that a player rolls, the more likely they are, of winning. No matter who they face. Therefore, Anyone can bite the dust depending on the roll of the dice.
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
You should show the number of each movement, please.
Thanks.
I clearly don't understand a couple of things. One, why is it a player can keep moving jockeying their checkers around? It seems ripe for cheating. And second, why is there such deliberation once your pieces are in your corner? Why wouldn't you just pull them out? (e.g. @13:00)?
a) What cheating?
b) It's not only his pieces there
@@inuksukharata5943 I didn't say there was cheating, just that it could be ripe for cheating. I would think that picking up the checkers, palming them, etc... then not committing, would be problematic. (say, in a street game)
why the revolve of pieces are different when you playing in computer?
You can play either direction, its optional.
What is Alexandra doing in the first game? Avoiding a gammon? Taking all those checkers out of play guarantees a loss.
I had no idea people took this game seriously. I thought it was a game you played when you were too drunk for checkers.
I thought checkers was a game you played when you were too drunk for chess.
WTF why in 9:34 she moves there? Cannot be 6, no?

@@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!
I am new to this game and wanted to know why they beared off their checkers the way they wanted at the end of the round? I've read that there are very strict rules of how player must bear off checkers. For example: if my dice were 2 and 3; and I have a checker at 3, then I must bear off that checker. And if I haven't got any checkers on 2nd triangle, then I must move the checker that is closest to the 2nd triangle, but further away from the border of the game board.
Did I misunderstood the rules? Can you please explain? :)
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.
40:05 was that not a gammon? Shouldn't he have scored two points for the gammon x2 from the cube, so 4 points total?
she was able to bear off after he threw the double 1 - they didn't play it because it didn't make sense, but she was able to bear off
First game was good. I liked how you made the primes!

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.

@@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).
Just watched this again as I detect a worrying trend in backgammon tournaments; the level of background noise is becoming a concern and is at a level that would simply not be tolerated in other indoor games of concentration.
am a beginner , someone explain to me what happened at 23;50 why they started over.
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.

What is this creature they're playing with? 1st time seeing this weird board game..
It is called "backgammon", classical but a very popular game. Google it and try. BackgammonAce is recommended App if it is the first time.
I'm sorry that the camera was just a little too close to see the scoreboard and the clocks.
what happened at 23:50? why did they stop playing?
I'm a Beginner. Can someone please explain Mochy's thought process @ 9:42 when he rolls a 6/4? I don't understand why it takes him so long to arrive at his decision.
I think he's thinking about the best way how to bear in without leaving a shot. The 3 Point inner Board of her is not that strong but the 3 checkers on Mochys 3 Point make it difficult to bear in. This is crucial because if you get hit and you fan she can easily play out her Checkers with 4s,5s and 6s from the 3 Point without crunching her inner Board. That's why Mochy carefully thinks about the best way to bear in minimalizing her chances to hit and force her to crunch her inner Board that's why you not only think about not getting hit but also about keeping the 4-Prime long enough that she crunches so that you can easily enter if you get hit. So for example you could play 17/11 6/2 or 17/11 5/1. I analyzed the position in extreme gammon and these alternatives are close but Mochy as usually comes up with the best play 17/7.
Mochy is thinking about 2 minutes how to play 6/1 the first movement.
Hahahha.
What makes you believe that this movement would played it faster???
Hahahah.
He has slow thought probably because his iq is under the average.
So dont ask why.
Just enjoy it and laugh
Not that I am an expert… But I seriously doubt that Mochy is remotely concerned about being hit. Even if he is hit, he would almost certainly come out immediately, as her homeboard is all but crunched already.
My first inclination is that the reason he’s taking so long is to consider if she rolls less than a seven, and leaves her self open to being re-hit, thereby increasing Mochy‘s chances of a gammon

It's quite simple, He's unsure. Fear, can be the correct term to use. The fear of making a costly mistake, could make one ponder on a move, that's a no brainer.
My father mentioned he like the board being used, more specifically the checkers. Does anyone know where I could order one similar?
This is just a guess, but it might be from gammoner-usa... they make custom boards and they're often used at tournaments.
Actually im sorry. Now i'm sure its a p40 board.

I’m not expert, but something tells me it is a P40 board. Just a hunch.
Holy hell that’s over a thousand dollars..
En la primera ronda por que dio la victoria la chica si aún no salían todas las fichas?
I have never seen anyone throw so many doubles as Mochy in this match. And his opponent had awful dice, just to add insult to injury. There's a lot of strategy in backgammon, but there's a huge element of luck, too, and Mochy had more than his fair share.

How to Use the Doubling Cube
Each backgammon game starts with a value of one point. The doubling cube is placed in the middle of the bar and is not controlled by either player.
When a player feels he has the advantage in a game, that player can choose to offer a double before rolling the dice-effectively doubling the value of the game.
The opposing player can turn down the offer but concedes the game by doing so and pays one point.
If the opposing player accepts the offer, the value of the game doubles-from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, or from 4 to 8, for example.
When a player accepts a double, he takes control of the doubling cube and is the only player who can make the next offer of a double. Knowing when to accept a double and when to decline is a sign of a skilled backgammon player. www.thesprucecrafts.com/how-to-use-a-backgammon-doubling-cube-409278

She is to good to lose 9 - 0 hahahaha hahahaha
Can you please explain (or anyone ) the move 5 & 1 at 18:20 and why you settled with the exposed piece at 18:50.
An amateur like myself would have played the one piece 1 and then 5.
She’s on the bar, so she has to roll in with a 2 or a 3. That means that 22, 36, and 23 are hitting rolls for her. Even if she does hit, she will still likely have to split the checker from the 18 which leaves additional shots for Mochy coming in from the bar. Any 3, 12, 52, 43, 16 all come in and hit her blots on the inner board. The play from Mochy increases his chance of a gammon which he did end up getting. It’s also why he didn’t cube. She was very underdeveloped in her board, so the risks outweighed the rewards. He just wasn’t concerned about being hit and he wanted to get more numbers that allow him to make inner points next turn.
there are a few reasons: black has only two slots to get the stone in from the bridge and doing that and making the jump out to the 6-3 point is not likely. But if it happens, black's home is wide open for reentry and has a stone open which could very easily get hit. White also has the two stones on the 13 point that needs to go home and in the event they are split, you want ore than one landing spot at the 6-2, 6-3 point. so on balance, its a good risk ti tke because its quick to recover from if white gets knocked out..
Look.
Even if I have a bad opinion for these players(many many many mistakes),at this time surprisingly, the man played correctly. Because he gives his posibility to himself to make a door in his area and on the other hand because the girl in its area is open. If I watch the whole match, I'm sure I will count more than 300 errors.
But I dont want because my eyes hurts when I watch players like them.

Especially game where she was not in advantage and she asked for double hahahaha hahahaha.....
not bragging but same here, I realize its not the same as playing on my phone but I just beat expert by 129 pips...these guys think about it forever and then do almost the dumbest thing possible...
@@robertwagner8728 all begemon game i play on my tablet was disaster... in beginning they give you good dice and advantage but later no chance to survive... always gives you bad dice and asking your credit card information hahahaha and of course i erase all this pay to win game ...
@@trumpameri1638 Sorry man, I learned to play backgammon few weeks ago and I don't understand a rule, what is the function on the double? What does it do?
@@riccardocampoleoni6288 if you are beginner you not need to play with this double points.... in some period of the game if you feel that you have advantage in game you can give me a offer for double if i accept that and you still wins you have 2 points if i see clearly advantage for you and stop the game you receive normal 1 points..... also if i accept your double and later in the game i turning game into my advantage i can ask you for 4x and if you accept and lose you lose 4 points... if you not accept my offer for 4x and stop the game you lose 2 points..... but i personally not using this rule when I'm playing... only 2 points i counting when you not take out of your bord 1 coins...
@8:20 perfect example of how messed up Backgammon is, uou can have all the skill, probability & strategies mastered but if the dice are just not working for you, luck completely over-rides everything..
my brother has that backgammon its honeslty so nice
In the second play there was a (remote) chance of a gammon. They should have played ‘til the end, no???
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.
Sorry, Pros ... Υou have no idea about "Portes" the most simple game of Greek Tavli ... I got you, just for fun!
ναι ρε αμα ερθουν ελλαδα ολοι αυτοι θα τρελαθουνε, παίζουν και με ρολόι ρε λες και παίζουν σκάκι :D ενταξ εμεις δεν εχουμε το κυβο για το στοιχημα αλλα αυτο πιστεύω κανει το παιχνίδι ακόμα πιο δίκαιο
@@Aannonymousss Βackgammon of course it isn GREEK inventory,but SEX my friend is.
You should be very grateful that the ancient Greeks taught the world how to fuck, because you were born.
Agree with that or you want more explanations???
@@giannisola_sta_robot6932 Sex isn't a Greek invention, it is naturally present in all sexually reproducing creatures. Even cavemen had sex.
They are not playing portes but backgammon which is not actually the same. Played like they are playing (with the doubling cube included) and they would beat most of the park alley champions. 😉
а что за колено сходил потом передумал переходил как же взялся ходи
Can you move back and forth .?
Yes, until you hit the clock in the tournament. Although doing too much is not a good manner
Checkers may only be moved in one direction (i.e., around the board to your home quadrant), and may not be moved backwards. That being said, players are allowed to "preview" potential plays during their turn, which is why you may see them move checkers one way, then move them back, then try out something different. It helps to visualize what their best play may be. A player's chosen play is set and their turn finished either when they pick up their dice, or in the case where they're sharing one pair of dice, when they hit the clock.
No doubt it was a good game, but WHY IS THIS GAME I DON'T EVEN KNOW ITS NAME ON MY HOME YT?
I have no idea, but it is a great game. Try it ! ruclips.net/video/_hCUrQSGqTI/видео.html There must be many free APP out there. I recommend BackgammonAce for a beginner
what is the name of this game?
Backgammon
De fondo se escucha hablar a Ignatius Farray
She comes and goes with her checkers. I thought that once touched you gotta move the checkers.
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.
someone tell me what is going on??
