    Dude, I'm so glad you filmed this! I took some pictures but didn't know there was a recording until just now. This is one of my favorite backgammon memories. My very first ABT event, I leave the playing room for a few minutes, and come back to find Mochy and Rory getting ready to play this match of "nuclear gammon" on my board. MCG and Steve Sax played one right after. Lightning fast. No idea how any of them can process what's happening at this speed, but it was a ton of fun to watch.

    Good to see you posting reviews again! I got the Backgammon Learning Centre baffle box based on one of your previous reviews and have been very happy with it. However, I think there's gap in the market for a premium baffle box made with better quality materials. I'm sure it will happen. I recently purchased one of the new ZMF clocks featured in the Chicago Open, which provide a solution for doubling cube placement for those of us who prefer to use a baffle box.

    • @vinr6867
      @vinr6867 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Good point, I would rather have a selection of boards rather than a Jeffrey Parker, sometimes I want to hear the sound of wood and other times I want a quiet board. I also like using different colored checkers and sometimes if playing outdoors I want a board that is easy to clean or one that I don't mind getting dirty. Sometimes if I am on a losing streak I like to change boards.

  • @HalfDecentBackgammon
    @HalfDecentBackgammon ปีที่แล้ว

    If they were all like the ones on black's 5 point in the close up view, it'd probably be okay. I think a big part of the problem is the variation between the checkers: it almost looks like playing with four different colors. You can tell them apart if you think about it, but that's the thing. You want it to be instantly obvious and not something you have to think about.

Which one is the strongest and who rolls the dice the best, Thank you in advance for your response and congratulations for your videos.

    • @vinr6867
      @vinr6867 ปีที่แล้ว

      The one fron Backgammon Learning Center is definitely the strongest, but also a bit louder than the R2. On occasion you may get some dice jump out from the R2, this never happens with the Learning Center one unless someone throws the dice violently into it. Another thing to keep in mind is the base of the baffles, some bases fit better depending on the board, the Lesrning Center one has a flat base. I have since gotten 2 more baffles and will do an updated review soon.

    Now that you have had this board for awhile, what do you think?

I'm in the process of ordering a tournament board/set and torn between this one from Wycliff Bros and the Crisloid Tournament attache. What has me going back and forth are the checkers? Nickel plated Vs Acrylic. Any thoughts would be appreciated . Thanks

    • @vinr6867
      @vinr6867 ปีที่แล้ว

      I ended up selling this board to a person in our club. The person who bought it ended up buying acrylic checkers from GammonVillage because the nickel plated checkers are cumbersome to handle and don't slide as well as the acrylic ones. Definitely get the acrylic checkers! The board is holding up well, just don't leave it inside your car on a hot day. I also sold the Crisloid Attache board, the cork tends to chip with little use. Also the color on the points tends to scratch very easily as well.

    I was fortunate enough to be able to afford either, and after reading all reviews I ordered a Gammoner. The shorter reach, slightly thicker surface, lighter weight being made of reral leathher convinced me to go with the Gammoner. Both look great, and I am sure either would be fantastic. My Gammoner is due in a couple of weeks. You do have to wait about 8 monthhs.

    I can't say anything about the Gammoner boards. Don't own one nor have I played on one. However I do own an FTH board. Mine is custom made. I requested the field and points color be as close to the Neptune color combination as possible. I have a set of Bakelite checkers that I sent in to have the board built around the checkers. My checkers are in a 3X5 layout. Just like the Crisloid boards have. Personally with the price that I spent on a custom board. I would recommend FTH over Gammoner. My FTH custom board has been posted on Facebook. You will know it when you see it. Red and Butterscotch Bakelite checkers on a Neptune color scheme. Its an amazing look. Has that 8 Ball UK pool look to it. Huge thumbs 👍 for FTH.
