The PR shown after each game is for that individual game only.

Fantastic video! The commentary by Phil is incredible and the playing by both Jonah and MCG is amazing. Having XG analysis definitely fulfilled Phil's dream and all of ours. It might have been intentional on the creator's part to leave out the win % and gammon %, but I will echo the other few comments that in the future it would be really appreciated to have that information. Justin, you are one of the smartest and funniest commentators ever. You mentioned that there is a separate video with analysis of the blundies. Has that video been published yet? I would love to see it - and I am sure I am not alone! In any case, thank you for this gem!!

Refreshing commentary..you're funny man. I'd love to watch your commentary again. Awesome vibe. Love it.

[@nofrills00]

Always enjoy Phil's commentary !

[@stevenferguson6845]

Thanks for the video. Next time could you display the winning % as values instead of the graphics bar

I tried looking for the Mochy vs Ron Lario semifinal mentioned, but didn't find anything.

Great play !

[@RVeda-vh5on]

Thanks for doing this, Justin. I'd prefer to see the probability numbers, though. The graph is not as accurate, and hard for color-blind people to read gammons (if the r.g.b. values vary mostly in red, it's a bad color choice for contrast - XG folks take note).

I am a backgammon player who has not seen any real action in the past decade. I was surprised to hear of some rule changes and the use of the clock. It was new to me that you would play a roll where one of the dice landed on a checker. We always would have considered that to be a "cocked" die and would have rerolled both dice. Also, I heard that misplay must be corrected. If a player misplayed and picked up his dice, it would become his opponents option to either require that the roll be played correctly or to require it to remain in the erroneous position. I was surprised to see a single pair of dice and instead of finalizing a roll by picking up the dice, it now seems to be finalized by the hitting of the clock.

A pity that Bill Riles' microphone is so soft, Can hardly hear him.

[@mobiusklein9140]

Is there a link to the Mochy backgame with the sky high PRs?

[@thomasj8523]

Where’s the 2nd video you’re talking about at the beginning?

[@HalfDecentBackgammon]

Lol, Justin confusing "Field of Dreams" and "A League of Their Own" (perhaps intentionally).

[@JustinNowellPlaysBG]

Totally unintentional. 😂
