Backgammon: Timing Issues (Lesson 24)

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

In the first position, I neglected to mention also that any 6 besides 65 keeps the prime. 14 numbers in total keep prime. 22 rolls break it hence white not being favourite. Apologies for the oversight.

Thx again for simple and clear explanations of positions /🇬🇧🇰🇼👍 top

Thanks for another great video! At 5:50 why is 11/10 worse that running all the way to the 16pt? I would've thought being 6 away from White's blot would force more shots (Green seeks to be hit)

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

It's marginal but with two in the outfield, green has decent timing and will probably get a hit from the anchors anyhow and not need to leave the extra shots now

hey there, I recently discovered and really like your channel. could you please post your suggestions on bearing off, when the opponent is on the bar or in your home board. this aspect confuses me all the time, and ask your advice.

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Sure, did you check out my endgame video also? I can tell you a couple of tips regarding bearing off: try to stay even on the back; create a mountain structure when bearing off against an ace-point holding game, and clear your points before stripping them.

[@CYRILLEJacob]

the last one is very hard. in a match with timing, i don't know if a master can play this one like XG.

[@carlossalinero3698]

Nice, but.....How do you calculate the 40%?

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

With some difficulty... :) You get a feeling for these positions after a while
