Mochy vs Simon Barget - NY Metro Open Backgammon Championship

[@larsprins3200]

This is an excellent format! WIth eXtreme Gammon showing on the side. Thank you Mochy! What I do is I stop the video immediately after every dice throw. Then I figure out what my play would have been before I start the video rolling again to see what the player did and what eXtreme Gammon has to say about it. Very useful for improving one's game!

[@bgmochy]

Thank you! I’ll keep posting videos like that.

[@angelabell6252]

I do the exact same thing...

[@1220donmarko]

Mochy, above all, your patients is what impresses me the most. You get knocked back often at the start of a game, elevating your pip but not elevating your blood pressure. Stone cold. Thank you!

[@daveray5655]

Incredible PR Mochy!

[@bgmochy]

Thank you Dave for watching. PR has luck as well :)

@@bgmochy "I only played so well because I got lucky" - World champion, UBC Champion, highest rated player of all time. No need to be so humble, you aced it! Keep up the great work!

[@EricPetersen2922]

@@bgmochy you have been lucky for a while now😉. Well done as usual, thank you for the video.😃

[@alexfarzan1120]

This was a very entertaining match thank you for posting. I think he made some critical errors to avoid gammon in the final two games. Also the loose hit on the 1 point in the last game right before Mochy rolled double 5 was an amazing move. Hope to see more from this tournament because it seems like Mochy played nearly perfect.

[@paulepstein9739]

What were his errors? A 4.5 performance certainly ain't bad!

[@gracemarieneary5133]

I am confused by the opening moves when yellow rolls double 3s why he doesn't blot both the brown checkers on the 4 and the 1 point?

[@bgmochy]

I think he wanted to make a 4p and prime (block) me.

[@Peanuthin]

what is that computer generated thing at the top left of the screen? Is it for betting? Does it show what's the best move or most common move?

[@birdnat3727]

Thanks ,it was interesting match

[@bgmochy]

Thank you for watching Bird .

[@mirm.4428]

Hello Mochy, what kind of camera do you use? Tnx in advance

[@bgmochy]

Im using Go Pro

[@TheBeastxTdog]

Why do they play to 12 when the middle paper says 13

[@bgmochy]

We played 13. Last game was 2 cube gammon so 2 x 2 = 4points I won. There fore I won the match by 14- 8 to 13point

[@TheBeastxTdog]

@@bgmochy Ohh, gotcha. That makes way more sense. None were borne off. Thank you!

[@FS-vt7lt]

what are these backgammons called? firm?

[@PeterOzanne]

It looks like leather surfaces.

[@larsprins3200]

The layout, hinges, locks and handle look exactly like an Aries Professional Leather backgammon board. I can't find this particular colour combination anywhere though. And the checkers might be non-standard.

[@bgmochy]

It is called Aries board, but I think they stop making them. I am not sure.

[@HHBBdssffeeww]

Excuse my ignorance of betting in BG, but does the $1500 buy-in mean you won $1500? Or did you win $1500/pt? And thanks for posting!

[@bgmochy]

16 players pay 1500usd and winners (1-4th place) share the prize money

[@HHBBdssffeeww]

@@bgmochy Ah ok, thanks! And best of luck. :)

[@mackenzieusher8025]

I find it interesting that most of Mochy's errors were just a result of him being too creative.

[@bgmochy]

Hehehe but if I wasn’t creative I wasn’t getting better :)

[@mackenzieusher8025]

@@bgmochy I agree! That is precisely why I find it interesting. We are constantly refining our knowledge, but that process is not a straight line. I would not make some of the errors that you make, just as a beginner does not make some of the errors that I make.

[@geeselouise]

It's so frustrating when the board is out of focus and you can't read the dice....it takes all the enjoyment and learning potential out of the equation.

[@bgmochy]

SOrry to hear that. when does it happen?

[@panoscharalambos9296]

All the time

[@lycoguy]

Looked clear during this video. Thanks.

[@blot100]

I know this is an old stream but looks clear to me. One thing to check is to go to settings and make sure you have 1080 (HD) selected

[@7jjessie]

For me this was one of the few times I could read the dice. Great board colour.

[@jorgelysandro]

1:16 duplo 6 duas vezes seguidas? Mochy pode ter virado o jogo a partir desse momento.

[@ProBackgammonequipment]

Two bad cube takes cost Simon 8pts!

[@bgmochy]

Thank you for watching Vin, but I only see one bad cube that cost him 4pt.

[@ЛогистизАрзамаса]

I think Simon was a great on start,but may be so emotional jettin with race with cube playing...Calm is base of win

[@bykailesi9164]

Mochy 👍👏

[@bgmochy]

Thanks Ailesi

[@warko]

nice board!

[@ЛогистизАрзамаса]

Its moshy granpa own(i suppose))) look very old and primitive

[@msudlp]

Simon, your mask has unusual character. The hardest thing is to not touch your face with your hands. You don't know how often you do it until your conscious of trying not to do it. One of the hardest things I had to train myself not to do during the pandemic.

[@JH-le4sd]

lol🤣 (it literally doesn't matter at all--and neither does your mask!)

[@bgmochy]

Not sure what happend to his mask.. maybe he washed? I dont think he touch the face so often.

[@thamiosmgtow3678]

1 hour and 30 mins i'l thinkin what BG needs in new rules to stop dispersion (luck)... but from this point 1:30:03 to the end, sry me Simon but u was outplayed... close to the end luck(joker) and lost equity of both players summary was kinda equal and more often Simons mistakes cost him a points. this match is example of how low pr professionals can thinkin like a robots 2 hours straight and this pay off. good match!

[@bgmochy]

Thank you for watching...It was a tough match until the last two games.

[@fredericverdon9145]

8-4 le mec ne se démonte pas et gagne la partie...bravo

[@rufust.firefly4890]

Bad luck and stupid takes are a dangerous combination.

[@arnaudcolson182]

nice match!

[@bgmochy]

Glad you think so!

[@memorymonkey1157]

I think Mr. B threw that last game away. He got greedy. Happens a lot.

[@bgmochy]

Playing backgammon is much harder than it seems. Nobody is perfect. He plays very well overall, in my opinion.

[@lecoze2797]

Mochy too good

[@richardr.6030]

Doubling cube sized DICE...... please.

[@erdemkaya2735]

Poor Simon

[@RVeda-vh5on]

No match score, no pip count, no name IDs... how long till these videos get the ELEMENTARY BASICS right?.... This is 2022, guys...

[@dumnezeu9421]

I don't see anything special in their game...Once you learn how to play the dice...the rest is just luck for the winner...i don't see any skills either...maybe if beaver feature would be involved...
