Very nice and solid play! I do not understand comments saying you´re playing too slow. Very instructive Video for me, I did had time to think about the positions carefully so that Video is a good lesson to me. Thank you for uploading this and Good Games! :-) Christian BTW, I did recognise the doubling cube with the galaxy logo on it, very nice!! :-)))

[@PANTAOLAS]

You don't understand my friend because you have no idea about this simple game ...

[@عليخليلامين]

So mr mochy who is the toughest player you have ever met?

[@paradigmshift4686]

Loved the redouble @ 6-12.

[@necdetpala9960]

Mr. Black 1.27.15 deki vido alınırdı. neden alamadınız?

[@alexmerz3113]

Hi, which board is this and where can I get it please?

[@natanormianer1039]

It's the P-40 board

[@mustafaaltn6618]

Congratulations Mochy !

[@bgmochy]

thank you !

[@XerxesGammon200]

13:07 XG says, 7/5 4/off 2/off gains +0.003 equity, then 7/5 2/off (3) loses -0.041. What a dilemma though, because you are torn between between either the safer move or winning a gammon at the same time... :))

[@EricPetersen2922]

Persian Gammon I’d have made the chicken play. Fortune favors the bold.

[@Joa8n]

شماها وقتی میبازین میگین بازیم بهتر بود وقتی میبرین باز همونو میگین🤣🤣🤣ایکس جی رو بذا دم کوزه! خودت چی بلدی؟ سر یک میلیارد بازی کنی و ببازی و طرف پی آر ش پنجاه باشه..که چی؟ برنده کیه اینجا؟ کسی که یک میلیارد برده یا کسی که پی آرش صفر بوده؟ 🤣🤣🤣برو تمرین کن بابا

[@СтасВоронин-у6и]

I like the board and chips design. Who is the manufacturer of the board?

[@jasonquirk6141]

Стас Воронин maybe these guys p40bg.com/index.php?id_cms=1&controller=cms

[@jasonquirk6141]

Out of interest does anyone know the manufacturer of that board?

[@tfries72]

P40 backgammon board pretty pricey but the customization is awesome

[@cacarotto87]

Can someone please share some insight on why Mochy moves 18->9 instead of 18->13 and 24->20?

[@cacarotto87]

at 2:13:14

[@paulkirby216]

Black is much less happy breaking his anchor and hitting on the 9 than the 20. Since Mochy is still down in the race he maximises contact I suppose. It's right according to XG

[@cacarotto87]

@@paulkirby216 makes sense, thanks!

[@EdwardJanuska]

When you turned that second or third game around it blew my mind

[@CSLFiero]

Mochy takes so long to finish his move I swear I forget where his pieces started. He could be cheating me and if never know

19:39 What an absurd take! Mochy must've been happy.

[@bgmochy]

Right. This is the biggest surprise of the match. I was playing for Gammon and just gave up and about to cash. He is much better player than this. I don't know what happend to him at that moment.

[@mackenzieusher8025]

@@bgmochy I don't doubt that he is! We all have errors in judgment. Congratulations on your win!

[@EricPetersen2922]

Mochy OTB people will always make mistakes. Marc O played Michi other day. Was playing 1.X in a match to 7. Marc passed a 350 take. It happens. That’s why bots can be so solid-no mistakes. Best

[@PANTAOLAS]

Haha!!! 31:00 Mochy has "6-3". Are you really serious? You did your magics again ... Entry level man ...

[@EricPetersen2922]

Nice board, P-40 are nice. Did you(Phil S) pay Pepsi a license fee for using their colors? 😂🤣😉 Nice tourney guys👍

[@bgmochy]

Pepsi guys pay money to using the color combination.

[@EricPetersen2922]

Mochy - it’s well deserved! You have a VERY BUSY schedule this past 6-8 months. Congrats on breaking the dry spell and winning possibly the highest $ organizes BG tourney. As always, thanks for everything.

[@andersnielsen6044]

How many players were registrated for the 5k event Mochy?

[@bgmochy]

32 players.

[@EricPetersen2922]

Mochy I knew it was close to full up. So happy it did fill up. Those Aussie guys sure are doing a great thing for BG worldwide/ Ralph & partners are wonderful! We can hope this event is annual and to its continued success.

[@andersnielsen6044]

@@bgmochy Oh okay, that is pretty decent then. I feared that is was only a very few players, that wanted to enter that sort of "high stakes" these days. Not many of these games rolling anymore. ;)

[@madzilla14]

We suggest larger dice cups with "baffling" INSIDE THE CUPS. The 'human' element of propelling the dice is maintained, and manip. deterred.

[@necdetpala9960]

Mr. Black; vido çekmekte geciktiğin için kaybediyorsun.

[@Joa8n]

I think black has a better move when he rolled 55. He had to play solid move like moving all checkers from 18 to 13

[@PANTAOLAS]

Hey!!! All over the world!! Look at this >> 37:02 Mochy rocks!!! Epic fail!!!

[@giannisola_sta_robot6932]

Το μ2γαλυτερο λαθος δεν είναι αυτό. Αυτο παει στο διαολο,μπορεις να πεις ότι χαλάει μια πόρτα και βάζει καβαλάρηδες για να δημιουργήσει μετα πόρτα,σε περίπτωση που ο αλλος μπει στο 2. Το θεμα ειναι ότι σε ένα παιχνίδι καθαρα δικο του κατα 90% μονο και με πιθανότητα διπλού ανω του 30%,δινει βιδο στον αντίπαλο με αποτέλεσμα ο αλλος ,μαλακας δεν είναι, να απορρίψει το βιδο και να χάσει το παιχνίδι μονο. Για τόσο βλακα γιαπωνεζο μιλαμε. Χαχα

[@БориславАсенов-и7э]

Тогава беше така, но сега сме "в тра-ур"!

[@PANTAOLAS]

53:31 Another epic fail ... Look the way he plays "5-3" in a critical point of the game ... LOL ...

[@MillencolinSweetMuz]

Yeah mate, tell the best in the world how bad he is.

[@PANTAOLAS]

@@MillencolinSweetMuz Just cool mate ... As Mochy's fan, have you something to say about the fact of his (epic fail) move??? If not, cool a litlle some more ...

[@theooo8026]

Game luckyyyyyyyy😂

[@PANTAOLAS]

LOL .. 17:51 Μochy has "4-4". You have no idea man ... Not even the basics ... >> First move: Close his "6" Second move: Take off your last bullet. Do you want another way more risky but in a Pro level? >> First move: Close his "6" Second move: Move your bullet from the corner to place "4" in your field beside his bullet. Simple things ... And all you, get money from this. Oh God!!

[@StephenCinAZ]

Kudos on being able to concentrate with those guys constantly shouting, laughing, and cussing in the background. That would drive me crazy!

[@jonathanbush6197]

Indeed. Is this typical for pro BG? In chess, the director would put a stop to it immediately.

[@PANTAOLAS]

Well ... 15:55 Maurice has "5-3". Make your "door" man in your field ... Pros from the LIDL ... I can't waste my time to see this rediculous show. You Mochy need 5 minutes to decide your move at the end. Kid ...
