This is the funniest video I have ever seen on Backgammon. It must be a joke, that works really well!! Haha. He didn't just knock you onto the bar mate, he totally blew you away!!! I almost died laughing when he threw the double 6's, "The dice, lady's and gentlemen, are not my friend!". Hahahahaha! You're an eternal optimist! Haha! Well done. Give us more!
I like to read the comments before I begin to watch. When one sees that the majority of people are not understanding or valuing the information provided, you simply move on to another video. I would like to thank you though for your attempt to try to help people out who enjoy the game.

0:56 Where did you get this rule of thumb? Its often exactly the opposite. For example, if your opponent gets an advanced anchor, it behooves you to do the same. Ok, sometimes you're right, but it's not really a useful generalization. 2:00 The fact that he hit you instead of moving the back pieces does not mean you should continue with a running game. It means the opposite. Getting hit means you are further behind in the pip count, so running into a losing race does not make sense. And the fact that the opponent's back checkers haven't moved means that you would do well to concentrate on priming them instead of running. 2:30 Again, this isn't a running game; it's a priming/holding game. 5:05 Actually you win this position only 31% of the time. The problem with playing a backgame here is that you have your 2 point made, which is too deep to contain hit checkers - it would be more conducive to a blitzing game. 5:58 11 was a great roll, but you're still a slight underdog. 7:35 Saving a 6 is the wrong idea. It wouldn't be the end of the world if you rolled a 6 next and had to break one of your anchors - it's too optimistic to try to hold on to everything. After your move, breaking the 6 point, how will you ever win once you do get your opponent on the bar? 7:54 They are points, not "primes." A prime is several points in a row. 10:38 Unless you know for a fact that you played every move perfectly, you can't say you lost purely on the luck of the dice. You did play slightly better than your opponent, but both at Beginner level.
You shouldn't adopt any strategy except to hold two stones, in starting position, or not. Flexibility is the key. 9 times out of 10, fortune favors the bold.
Im sorry mate, i appreciate the effprt of the tutorial, but you cant say that the other player was lucky when you gave him the game trying to pull a strategy that you dont undertand
I got the gist of your message bro, despite the armchair warrior class tasteful messages below.. I know more about the game now then before.. I was playing the strategies but I didn't know what they're called.. you just have to go with feel, because like you say, the dice the dice the dice
Wow....I'm going to win this game. The opponent played perfectly grabbing the 5-point and bar point. He got himself into a HUGE pickle. LOL. Inner board points and blocks ftw
Thanks for your effort. However, I dont agree that you lost this game on the dice. I feel you lost it because you made poor decisions based on a strategy that you dont seem to understand. Maybe teaching others should come later.
3:12 You should have double hit with the 64. I like some the explanations for why you chose a running game early on like him not moving his back checkers. But it seems to me if you've made an ancor on the two point against a four prime and are down in the count then you're not really playing a running game anymore.
@@Jez2008UK and who the f says "knock them in the bar"? And his "four prime in the bar" which is just the first four points. I'm glad this video was suggested to me again. Hilarious. I was much too nice before. This guy is completely clueless on all levels. "I am losing is the pip count so that means I should try to run with my back checkers, watch as I completey blunder this 4-2". Lol.

hahahhaaaa, what a joke. no clue about backgammon but audacious enough to make a tutorial on it. really cracked me up... clearly, people don't know what they don't know...
You initially got lucky with the double 1 early on so that you had a 3 prime in his home - the dice do what the dice do, but he played a better overall game and played the percentages better than you did. Sure the double 6 at the end was good for him, but you'd had your share of fortune hitting him earlier in the game
This video should be called how not to play a backgame strategy.For any person who whatches this. You dont play a backgame strategy if you dont have enough rocks to build at home and you certainly dont open your six, thats always one of the last things you want to do. What point is there in waiting to catch the other guy if hes gonna come straight out to an open field, and even if you have more rocks waiting the same situation is gonna repeat.if you want to play a backgame you either close it all or all but the one. Trust me its usually always better to risk than to break your beggining pile at the six
I think you made your mistake right here 1:30 when you came in on the 5 instead of the 1. You set the table for his to continually harass you in his bar. I think I would have felt like from the 13 to the 8 would have made more sense. You can't really characterize the game into one of your categories so quickly, nor decide counter-strategies based on that so early.
Why call guest a schmuck? You had the back game but he WON the game and thats what matters dice game or not , its not who almost won its not if only they didnt .... Its nit I had the back game. Its ho crosses the finish line first ❗ period. Would you actually say that to a player if sitting there? 🤔 bad sport aye . Interesting video the lesson "dont be a schmuck" loose with grace & respect. This Schmuck dosent even know the difference between his points & a prime 😂 I wouldnt take any of his advice.
Every move u made is amateur move...u were waiting to have your luck..your game plan is made from those who doesnt know how to be expert..beeing amateur and posting videos and loosing my time and others time pfff
You are hopeless in understanding how Backgammon is played. You might want to read a book or two, starting with some of the old time masters like Bill Robertie or Paul Magriel
A for effort but you clearly don’t even understand how the checkers move at 2:50 you had a 6 and 2 how did you move out your checker into your home quadrant?
You are a bad player. You have to assess correctly whether it is better to concede 1 point or risk losing a mars. Btw, you never had a better position.
at 9.31 you rolled a 2,6, you should have played bar/23 17/11 to give you sixes to cover one of your inner board blots, any other play is a blunder. By bemoaning your luck and moving checkers blindly you missed a superior move and a valuable lesson for those watching. Please remove this video, it has no value.
Dude, it took you 12 minutes to rattle off a list of 5 strategies, why did you put us through that painful gameplay when you could have explained them in 2 minutes? That really did hurt to watch. Lol
I know you mean well but this is a terrible way to teach the game imo. Its to fast and hard to understand the thinking behind some of the moves. It would be better to have a real board game and show your moves and the thinking behind them at a slower pace. I couldn't finish watching video as it wasn't helping me but thanx for trying.

This helped a ton! Thank you
Definitely Schmuck! 😂 So glad I found your channel!!! Glad I'm not the only one who has a love/hate relationship with my dice!! 🤣🎲
I felt his rage on the 66 :) lol
Damn i watched this and thought i learnt something, then i read the comments... how is this the top video when u search backgammon strategy oof
Building a wall is always the best strategy. What you did is not much of a winning strategy but a way to try to salvage what is already a losing game.
No strategy is "always" the best strategy. You have to do what the dice and/or opponent allow.
Exactly.
Mark Jackson Gotta agree here, not playing a computer, playing people.
@qvistus82 idk why you thought that was a good idea, AI for backgammon was solved in the 90s
You have no clue how to play this game.
AND u do????????????????????????
Thanks for sharing this maybe I can get a win on my next game

Bro has no winning chances “now, I have a great position”
The second I saw him play 6&4 the way he did, I knew that this guy ain’t it
Thought the exact same
True that...!
That's the right play lol. You talking about his first move? The only good play he did all game pretty much
That's not a bad move. It's almost equal to the 24/18, 13/9 or 9/2, 6/2. Against a stronger opponent it's probably the best.
Amazing game. You did well until the end.
lolita: teach somthing you know, if ther is somthing!
Thanks man. That was helpful. I hope you'll do some more. You don't have to win to teach.
"knock him in to the bar" lol
I got the gist of your message bro, despite the armchair warrior class tasteful messages below.. I know more about the game now then before.. I was playing the strategies but I didn't know what they're called.. you just have to go with feel, because like you say, the dice the dice the dice
Schmuck is such a flexible word.
There’s a reason why I look at comments before watching video
This is the worst game of backgammon I've ever seen. Jesus Christ.
Morgan Childs 😂😂
hahahahaahahaha I could not agree more
Wow....I'm going to win this game. The opponent played perfectly grabbing the 5-point and bar point. He got himself into a HUGE pickle. LOL. Inner board points and blocks ftw
Maaaan this is a dice game indeed
Shout out to Steve Miller
No, you lose a game while explaining next to nothing. I already know how that works. I came here to learn.
Hilarious strategy 😂😂
I think it's cool that you posted this game even though you lost. That speaks volumes about your character.
Haha i was here to learn how to play the game, now i know what the game is like.
another example of an ONLINE Backgammon game with "funny dice" lol I thought you were going to pull out that backgame
Someone should transcribe this game and run it on XG! All I can say is watch out Mochy! I would do it myself, but I have a semblance of a life.
What site is this? Software looks awesome.
...unfortunately the dice have the last say in a game...NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU PLAY...
The 5 strategies are finally presented at ... 11:06.
Thanks for your effort. However, I dont agree that you lost this game on the dice. I feel you lost it because you made poor decisions based on a strategy that you dont seem to understand. Maybe teaching others should come later.

C L absolutely. The poor choice of play with that 6 & 4 was the critical error.

Does anyone know which application / program is used in this video? Is it available for the Windows operating system?
MSN zone backgammon
Hello, can you do.a video explaining how to play LONG BACKGAMMON PLEASE.
Your critical error was when you didn’t double hit with your 6 & 4. From then you were destined to lose.
That was a fun game to watch though. Could have been a little more competitive.
Where do I find this simulator?
Great lesson on how to be a bad sport.
Not knowing the lingo is another tip-off this guy doesn’t know the game.

Ya, blame the dice
I always play a back game. I never run
More videos!!
Good video - but don't talk into the mic so closely, it sounds terrible with all the popping.
6:28 3 primes or a 3-prime?
Is this Patrick Fusco?
Is this a website????
The rolls are not random on these sites. Usually one of the players gets 'lucky' throughout the game.
If I had to invent a nerd voice, you'd have found it here.
What is app
Mark is funny
LMFAO. What a run of bad dice.
Are the dice not your friend?
adam Hogwood The dice are temperamental
Sometimes the dice are your friend. Sometimes the dice bitch slap some humility into you.
You stope 6:01 mins of me life give it back.
Stopped watching this after your opening move haha
Hi Mark
Why call guest a schmuck?
You had the back game but he WON the game and thats what matters dice game or not , its not who almost won its not if only they didnt .... Its nit I had the back game.

I don’t think you even know how to play backgammon
lol
There is only 1 statistically best move. So only one of you in the comments are right. The rest of you are wrong.
You are not entitled to give lessons...not with your level of understanding this game...
You are a bad player. You have to assess correctly whether it is better to concede 1 point or risk losing a mars. Btw, you never had a better position.
WTF
just wasted 15 mins of my life
Ha ha ha ha. Variance, sorry M8
sorry dude but you could of saved the drama with your first move 6 and 4.

Lucky player play backgammon whit stupid opponent.ha ha. What of kind the strategy have here.
very bad playing and strategy. Should have used the 2-4 backgame and not the 2-3 in his home to make it more difficult with a gap. read some bg books
Ridiculous
