I once played a guy for $5 a point. Chump change, right? After three consecutive wins, I gammoned him. He sent the board and men flying. End of that association when he didn't apologize, pick up the debris, OR pay off.
That is the most hysterically funny backgammon story! Imagine being a spectator in your own game! Clearly white has to work on his dice throwing skills. I think white's major blunder was saying at the beginning: "I should be careful not to gammon" - got his wish!
Hi Mochy I really enjoy your new voice-over style of videos, it's great to hear your expert thoughts about the games you have played - hopefully this one was a one-in-a-lifetime bad luck for you! There is a youtube channel which shows someone playing on galaxy with "eyetrack" software (video: [RO] - Eyetrack Table/Backgammon - Noroc 100%), it would be amazing to see you playing backgammon with this software and with voiceover!
Thanks Mochy, I only mean one match, I agree it's not necessary all the time! I'm very excited about your upcoming masterclass book, hopefully it comes in time for my birthday next year.
When watching these videos I pause the video just after the roll and mentally figure out what move I would make. I am happy when they do that move. But often they make a different move. I have so much to learn. Thank you Mochy for these videos.
@@bgmochy And I Mochy, wish I could speak better Japanese and play Backgammon at your level! An HONOR of a lifetime to receive a reply from you. Keep up the great work you do for this brilliant game.
Dear Mochy! You have touched very interesting topic! Everyone has his story of luck and unluck and you too! You are the best player no doubt but what i have seen in your match against Dirk Schieman was a pure luck
That is rough. I mean, just as a spectator I was cringing. I remember being down to my last checker, and my opponent closed out his board and went on to win. As much as I want to complain about that, I’ve also been in his position and won twice.
Sometimes I can see it. When someone has luck on his side. The only counterattack is for you to be lucky as well. But the good thing is that the luck doesn't last too much. It happened to me too and I cursed the game but then I get back to it and forgive those nasty dice.
It's crazy how you were definitely unlucky at the end, but even in the very beginning you were dancing on the 2 pt board with 6-6 when he had a blot as well to hit.
Backgammon is Risk vs Reward , at that point there was such a high gammon % that there was not enough reward to assume additional risk, even though the risk was small.
in poker exist 2 types of tilt...1 its just a standart tilt (kinda of RAGE, or real dissapointment) and another one which is bad enough is "quiet tilt" which is not so strong but it goes on for a loooong time and slowly destruct ur game. imo 1 type of tilt is not exist in bg (for players between 3-6PR is for sure) but second one...this is a DANGER!) when im in "quiet tilt" i lose my focus and do a FAST moves. Mochy-san, how do you ALWAYS in focus? how to overcome this stupid habit? do a fast moves in tilt.. which i got actually from playing against the computer... Mochy and Ueda its most focused players on earth and probably Thomas Kristensen, yeah
You should just focus on playing your best ? knowing that you have another game after this, and another and another, the luck will be canceled out in the end.

@@padhraickennedy874 I don't think many people are going to care about this discussion. But maybe the caps lock will draw some attention. What biases have you noticed, if I may ask?
we all need luck to win and no one wants to lose. 90% of the matches are won by the player that has most luck, but you can win matches with 2 or 3 super Jokers.. Not moving means you have no choices.. means you can't make mistakes. :) Backgammon is a funny game and is a lot based on luck.. Good luck to all! But above match is an 11 pointer so match isnt lost ! Always remember its never over untill fat lady sings.
@@bgmochy Yes, but he took longer than 12 seconds on many moves and his clock time didn't decrease. It started at 22 seconds, then went to 21 seconds and was stuck there for the rest of the game. The clock wasn't working properly on his side. Not sure about your side as you didn't need to spend any time. If he only had 22 seconds on his clock he should have lost the match on time, considering the amount of time he took on some of the moves.
2:26 Omg I literally thought to myself, "is he going to roll a 2-1 or something?" And sure enough, he did!! 😂😭
I so much love how polite you were in that situation. So many players get so mad as to call names and blame the dice. Thanks Mochy!
Thank you. After seeing so many things it will become nature to me.

AH so you also believe when you say, it will become true? Japanese also believe it as well.
"Your unlucky story is his lucky story" - What a great way to sum it up

I watched the video and indeed a very interesting new technology. However to me it is a bit distracting to have moving bubble all the time.
Thanks Mochy, I only mean one match, I agree it's not necessary all the time! I'm very excited about your upcoming masterclass book, hopefully it comes in time for my birthday next year.
Hey Moochie, I think your greatness is your mental approach to the game

Thank you for watching MC. It is a good way to learn!
Very new subscriber.
Love this video.
The way you are handling such unlucky dice is exemplary.
I hope I can learn to be more like you
Thank you John, looking forward to playing you soon!
Such a gentlemanly comment suggests that you already are!
As denix02 said, Mochy your commentary style is amazing!

Great video! Thanks Mochy. Excellent lesson for everyone. Cheers!
Thank you for watching Jason. Not sure if it was a good "lesson" but it could happen to anyone :)
Dear Mochy! You have touched very interesting topic! Everyone has his story of luck and unluck and you too! You are the best player no doubt but what i have seen in your match against Dirk Schieman was a pure luck
Obviously I wouldn't be 8-1 against Dirk in any other day!
"The game is not over yet" Reminds me of Randy Marshy bloodied and bruised saying "That's all you got?!"
This is why backgammon is such a frustrating game to play. The bad luck can literally ruin all chances of winning. 😭
Ah man, that hurt. ^^ Didn't knew you have a YT-channel. Subscribed for sure.
Thank you Kryzs
Sometimes those dice can be so cruel. I have learned alot about strategy as well watching your videos.
5:34 Ooo UNO reverse card play there! 🎉
That is rough. I mean, just as a spectator I was cringing.
I remember being down to my last checker, and my opponent closed out his board and went on to win. As much as I want to complain about that, I’ve also been in his position and won twice.
Good thinking. Most players only remember their hard luck story ;)
8:42 Oh that's demonic.
Thank you for the insight!

"Oops." I should try words like that instead of the words that I often use in that situation.
That was like when a cpu on a phone app cranks up to you lose mode
On BackgammonGalaxy it happens quite often for the "standard" account !
0:15 - perhaps it's all about (because) your funny 😂 roll 55 of both dices out of the playing field? :-)
As you saw I am a very poor roller. need to go to a dice rolling school in Las Vegas
@@bgmochy indeed... craps should be in help!!
Don't feel bad, it happens to me every day on extreme gammon, lmao
blimey!.....those dice!....aye caramba!
When it happens it looks so natural, almost like written in the script...
6:41 Yea that's brutal.
It's crazy how you were definitely unlucky at the end, but even in the very beginning you were dancing on the 2 pt board with 6-6 when he had a blot as well to hit.
Oops 😬
Good to know that I *can* roll as well as you occasionally, Mochy 😃
Indeed we are all the same under the dice god
Backgammon is the devils game.
I feel like you in your game in 90% of my games :-)
Enjoy the 10% then Jurgen. thank you for watching !
Great analysis. I think you were playing vs XG Gammon jeje
haha
I used to think I was the prize victim of so many 17-1 shots. I also used to think I was a halfway decent player. But alas.....
We are friends now
What was the final "Luck" number for both sides at the end of the match ?
Why was the best move with 3-1 at 5:30 to clear the 6-point?
Backgammon is Risk vs Reward , at that point there was such a high gammon % that there was not enough reward to assume additional risk, even though the risk was small.
Must didn’t take with 2 checkers on the bar😜

Mochy wouldn't know what it's like for players with PRs between 3 and 6. He hasn't played a match above 3 since the summer of 2004!
@@neilwaldock6272 He’s walking on water the past year! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was a fun video!
You forgot "Full-blown Monkey-tilt"
You should just focus on playing your best ? knowing that you have another game after this, and another and another, the luck will be canceled out in the end.
Hey Mochy, Go fan here! How about a special episode on Takemiya Masaki 9p?
XG3 plays 13/8 with that 41 for sure 😆
LOL!
That's literally what every game on Backgammon Galaxy is like

It would be cool to win the match anyway but I think I lost in the end.
How come your opponent's clock's not going down? Was this a practice game or was the clock broken?
You have 12 seconds reserved on each move so if you make a move within 12 sec the time wont be decreased
@@bgmochy Yes, but he took longer than 12 seconds on many moves and his clock time didn't decrease. It started at 22 seconds, then went to 21 seconds and was stuck there for the rest of the game. The clock wasn't working properly on his side. Not sure about your side as you didn't need to spend any time. If he only had 22 seconds on his clock he should have lost the match on time, considering the amount of time he took on some of the moves.
it’s probably still only showing minutes for the opponent.
it was showing something like 10.00 - 00:20 on the clock
@@cubruce1103 Maybe, but then why couldn't it show the minutes as 20:00? All other clocks do.
@@neilwaldock6272 Yes he must have 21:XX min, and it shows seconds degit only from 20:00min or less, I believe.
Hey Mochy, you play with such skill and grace. BTW whose dice are those that mistreated you ;-(!
luck.. unluck... part of the game ... !!
...and that's why we love backgammon!
The only move I question is white's 4-1 at the very start. When winning 4-0, playing conservatively makes sense, 13/8 should have been considered.
Thanks
i will broke the table over the head of the opponent!😂
So frustrating
At least his pr for the game was 0.0 🙃
LoL my rolling skill was PR 100
hello mochy türkiyeden..
👍🎲🎲❤️
Did your opponent buy a lottery ticket after this game because hea lucky enough to win the lottery and retire early.
I think he did before the match
@@bgmochy lucky him.
If I won the lottery I would not retire, I'd organise crazy prize money backgammon tournaments 🤗😁
