Was cool! I'll have to rewatch it myself too, that 64 before your 44 was horrendous 😅

@@Kalinators @Richard40011 I agree. It is really challenging to not only work out when to Switch but to remember that sometimes your opponent has switched and you nee to take that into account. Well done both !!!

Great match and well deserved to watch. See you in the 2nd Round.

OBS Studio, best and easiest for streaming. My laptop is not great so I had to sacrifice a bit of quality for the better audio - review my previous live streams for reference

@@Kalinators Thank you for the Information and the greatest of luck with your channel.🎲🎲

Good question.

Good thought! Maybe in future, if it does get at least a bit popular. For now keeping it as simple as possible in order to get it though, I found better

@@Kalinators btw i dont think so cube is fit well here.1st - because of we dont have here gammons we cubing later. and after first shot we probably to much rarely opened a doubling window for us. AND if this was a possible to double after 2nd or 3rd shot so, after NoDouble/Take this is extremely fast jumping into area of D/P.. because 1 game is too short (in terms of distance and shots too much determined on +1 than misses). so, idea here it is ALL games is like 1 game. i mean, lets say two players played 4 (or 5) games. and you use double INSIDE of this 4(5). i mean doubling window opened here in 3rd game in some special moment. maybe 3 games is better because this is create more Passes. AND after this, lets 3 three games which is ended 2-0/0-2 (or rarely 4-0/0-4) you guys played ANOTHER 3 games (or 4, i really dont know about nuances of balance in tis game) and MATCH ended as in bg with score 5 on any side. crawfoed included. also free drops))) probably 3 games is too short. and after redouble is always a PASS. and YESm you can double on ANY shot! seems as 5-6-7 games create more non-pass games on redoubles. pretty often is still a take probably. but short games is like blitzes it is about agro doubles. but always a drops after redouble. maybe 4 games is fine. you know better)))

It is a brand new rule I invented 2 days ago. Let's see who picks it up.

If it is your first shot on the table, no. If it is not your first shot, you've already decided on whether you double.

Rotating every 10 turns could be hard to track. But maybe, it could be that there are, say, 3 rolls, which alternate every move? That way, after 3 turns each, both players will have played each roll once, so remains fair from that side. I completely like the idea of 2 rolls with players choosing one of them. It could be that both players roll once each and these are the two rolls, with the player rolling the higher getting to play first, already starting with choosing the roll. This could also be a way to include doubles: One of the rolls can be doubles without causing a standstill. I'll try out this variation in a next video on chessgammon!

Good idea! Actually, in some rolls the winner with perfect play is the 2nd to move. I believe 32 is one of them. So that probably makes it even better. The 2nd, if they aren't familiar with that, could voluntarily hand over the advantage. More opportunities for errors=more entertainment

So there are no doubles in this variation ?

@@jgeorgiou3307 No doubles because doubles are unplayable. Do you have an idea how we can include doubles without adding luck factor?

@@Kalinators I have no ideas for improvement I was just trying to understand better the game. So it's normal in every way except the opening roll becomes the dice for the whole game

@@jgeorgiou3307 Exactly. This is why it's chessgammon, because you can plan for what will happen and if you play better than your opponent, you're guaranteed to win.

I know, I noticed it after I posted. I checked it, but not at all moments, and this resulted into some periods being too loud music. Lessons learnt, next time watch the video from start to end before posting

Thanks teammate

Have things to improve. I don't like it that I don't get subscribers 😂
