Thank you for playhing with me and watching it. ☺

Thanks for enjoying my comments. Your support really means a lot!

Yes, I enjoyed the match! Thanks for watching it! ☺

I had a great start, leading 6-0, but it was not enough. 😅 Anyway, thanks for watching it as always!

Pip percentage matters only in a no-contact position. Generally, you can check four criteria: Race, Boad strength, Back checker, and threat.

It was so nice to see you in Jamaica! Hope to see you soon in Miami (50/50 whether I go or not).

@@MichyBG Yes Jamaica was great fun. One of the highlights was getting to know Akiko, sho is also wonderful. I will be going to Miami and hope you can make it too!

@@mhughesnyc Akiko is a wonderful person. I highly respect her! I'll do my best to get to Miami.

Heroes has a "UK League" room, but playing on Galaxy is also fine.

@@MichyBG thanks

@@capa8888 Anytime!

Wow, you made me super happy! Thanks for watching it and leaving the comment. ☺

I agree with you. Yellow does not need to have three checkers on the 8 point. I also found this fact: Yellow will get a shot after Red's 11 12 22 if Yellow choses 21/16 11/8. However Yellow will get a shot after Red's 11 12 13 14 22 23 if Yellow choses the best play, 21/18 11/6.

They advertised on Facebook. They confirmed the date of Japan Championship is 3-5 May 2025. Please come to Japan! My 3 British friends already bought the tickets for Japan Championship next year.

@@MichyBG thank you so much for the information. I am already in Japan but no Tokyo. I will join this year.

@@saeidmohammadzadeh9056 You are already in Japan! I live in Osaka, but stay in New York now.

@@MichyBG see you in Tokyo for the matches :) I really would like to play you if not possible directly let's play an online or you can visit Beautiful Akita :)

I did something, but I could not go further away. 😅

@@MichyBG , that is a pity... Glad to see the videos though!

I'm sorry about that. 😅 It would be better if I added comments after the match.

Thank you for watching it! I like our collaboration!

This backgammon board was made by the director in Macau. His name is Apollo.

Great! Thanks for ordering some dice through my promo code! I wish the dice will bring you good luck. 😄

I'm happy that you liked it!

I didn't consider 4/3(2), which must be better than 3/1 because it dimishes the gap on the 3 point. I should have found it over the board. 😅

Yes, we played well. Also, the dice is important in backgammon. 😉

The anti-joker 62 was crazy dice! I could not belieev that. 😅

It was!!! Thans for watching it. ☺

Thank you for watching it! It was a nice match, and I enjoyed it. ☺

No, backgammon is not a solved game. For me, it doesn't matter. I enjoy backgammon whatever it's solved or not because it's such an interesting game!

That's the book written by Marty Storer and Mary Hickey. You must enjoy it!

The name of the anchor is "Phoenix anchor". The idea came from Fenghuang: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenghuang Japanese call it "Hou-ou".

@@MichyBG thank you!

I'm glad to hear that you learned from my commentary. Yes, I finally got lucky!!! 😁

It's 100% sure that I got good dice. 😁 I'm glad to hear you learn backgammon skills throught my proverbs.

I found that the sound often cuts out. Maybe my michrophone has a problem. Thanks for telling me that.

@@MichyBG yes, it seems like it’s your microphone!

@@thomasj8523 I'll change it. Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I'm interested in visitiong Australia. Which city do you stay?

Melbourne! I am happy to help if you have any questions, Michy!

@@Den.K98 Great! I have some chance to visit Melbourne in the future. ☺

Thank you! If both pip counts are the same, the roller usually have a 60% winning chance. Here he has 1 pip lead with better structure. That's why I estimated 65%.

@@MichyBG Hi Michy. That's fascinating. Do you think you could ever make a video about estimating winning chances? With tips and tricks like the one you just mentioned?

@@MakanBaranghoori It sounds a good idea! I cannot gurantee but let me think about it. ☺

That’s such a kind compliment. Thank you so much! 😄

@@MichyBG It is I who must thank you for the generosity of your uploads and for you helpful and endlessly entertaining explanations🙏

Thanks for leaving the first comment! ☺

Thanks for leaving the comment! Yes, I played comfortably.

It is an interesting opinion. I also see only Normarize Equity instead of MWC. Do you think MWC is more important?

@@MichyBG To determine who performed better in the match, I believe MWC is a much better indicator. Whether we like it or not, the cube level and the score have a tremendous impact on the gravity of our errors. Normalized Equity does not reflect this. However, I believe EMG is the better tool for learning from one's errors.

@@mackenzieusher8025 I understood your idea. We need to use them differently depending on our purpose.

Thank you for watching and leaving the first comment! ☺

RIght, a backgammon tournament room is always like that. ☺

@@MichyBG Yes, I have noticed that rising noise levels and PA announcements are becoming the acceptable norm. Seems out of place to me in a 'mind sports' event.

@@mobiusklein9140 Backgammon tournament room always has lots of noise. At least we have the sound of dice and checkers. 😅

@@mobiusklein9140 If the room is quiet, then any big noise disturb the players.

There are a couple of reasons which are against hitting: - We secured the advanced anchor. - We are okay in the race. - The opponent can establish an anchor with 5s, instead of 6s. - Generally, making a point is better than hitting loose.

Everything is fine with me. I just wanted to win. 😉

Thank you for enjoying my vidoes! Yes, I also play Backgammon Galaxy. My ID is Michy.

Thanks for your opinion! I'll try to show you the analysis longer. ☺

My pleasue! ☺
