Great video sensei! It's such a pleasure to learn from your commentary on these matches. Nice that you're finally having some good luck in the UKBGF league.

[@MichyBG]

I'm glad to hear that you learned from my commentary. Yes, I finally got lucky!!! 😁

[@mikewilcox4346]

Well, you had good dice in this match. Good playing as well. I am learning a lot about backgammon through your opening concepts and end game books. Proverbs help one to learn more easily.

[@MichyBG]

It's 100% sure that I got good dice. 😁 I'm glad to hear you learn backgammon skills throught my proverbs.

The winning chances estimate at 37:00 is very impressive!

[@MichyBG]

Thank you! If both pip counts are the same, the roller usually have a 60% winning chance. Here he has 1 pip lead with better structure. That's why I estimated 65%.

[@MakanBaranghoori]

@@MichyBG Hi Michy. That's fascinating. Do you think you could ever make a video about estimating winning chances? With tips and tricks like the one you just mentioned?

[@MichyBG]

@@MakanBaranghoori It sounds a good idea! I cannot gurantee but let me think about it. ☺

Michy is the best backgammon content creator on KZbin for sure! I hope you can come to Australia one day 😁🎲

[@MichyBG]

Wow, thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I'm interested in visitiong Australia. Which city do you stay?

[@Den.K98]

Melbourne! I am happy to help if you have any questions, Michy!

[@MichyBG]

@@Den.K98 Great! I have some chance to visit Melbourne in the future. ☺

Hi michy. Thanks for upload video

[@MichyBG]

Thanks for leaving the first comment! ☺

[@barneymaundertaylor]

Thank you Michy another hugely helpful video! But I didn't quite hear what your name is for the 18 point anchor when the opponent has made their 5 point anchor?

[@MichyBG]

The name of the anchor is "Phoenix anchor". The idea came from Fenghuang: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang Japanese call it "Hou-ou".

[@barneymaundertaylor]

@@MichyBG thank you!

[@efegokce2731]

Thanks mitchy! Its amazing to watch you to play with your comments? I have a question for you? How can we know when we should double? Is there any percentage about pip differences? Thanks again.

[@MichyBG]

Pip percentage matters only in a no-contact position. Generally, you can check four criteria: Race, Boad strength, Back checker, and threat.

[@thomasj8523]

Hi Michy, thanks for your great videos! Have you notice that you have issues with your audio/mic?

[@MichyBG]

I found that the sound often cuts out. Maybe my michrophone has a problem. Thanks for telling me that.

[@thomasj8523]

@@MichyBG yes, it seems like it’s your microphone!

[@MichyBG]

@@thomasj8523 I'll change it. Thank you!

Why dont play in Backgammon Galaxy?

[@MichyBG]

Heroes has a "UK League" room, but playing on Galaxy is also fine.
