This popped up in my recommended and I have no idea what’s going on
Same here
I don't understand a thing😅🤔🤔🤔
@@markfelicilda5867 et al: there are some good videos out there explaining the game. Once you know the rules, and maybe a bit of the strategy, this is actually kind of fascinating to watch (or at least I find it so). :)
For the first time in my life, I watched other people play games without knowing how to play. : v
2020 times
I recommend playing backgammon, my missus and I have our own board and it's a lotta fun
Same.
I WAS AWAITING FOR A GOOD MOVE BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED.
@@SkywardSpork I play at this site cardgames.io/backgammon/ You get to play against the computer or other people (recommended, because the computer makes some questionable moves). It's no frills but simple and straightforward. The dice rolls feel pretty random. You can give yourself a name, and you'll see some of the same people show up regularly. It's also really easy to set up a match.
i like how 3/4 of the comments are people who have no idea whats going on
Great work Mochy. Always a pleasure.
Pleasure to watch her terrible mistakes and bad offer for double wins hahahaha hahahaha
@@trumpameri1638 - she played with a PR of 8.4, you can win tournaments with that PR. Furthermore she made no cube errors at all in the match, which I ran through XG.
If anyone ever asks me what the Dunning-Kruger effect is, i'll show them this comment section
Indeed, in particular the guy who asks what the doubling cube is for and then criticises one of Mochy's moves, LOL the Dunning-Kruger personified,
My favourite player. Classy action Alexandra played well but Mochy had the right decision at the right moments. Enjoyed the game and studied of course !
What a beautiful table .
And the checkers, too😉
Yes indeed. Wonder how much it costs??
She was outrolled so many times even when ahead.. I wouldn't fill the lottery if I were her, girl has zero luck.
I know, right? The guy needed 6's and he gets 6's. The guy needed 3 5 and he gets 3 5. The guy needs to hit and cover, and he does. Thumbs down for horrible luck sack. He leaves 4 shots and she dances on a 2 point board. LUCK SACK!
She also leaves way too many pips open. There was one point (third round, I think) she had 5 pips open. Who the hell keeps 5 pips open? That's asking to be hit.
@@aarien_of_aurolyth she have very very bad movement in completely this game..... asking for double when she is not in advantage
@@trumpameri1638 - Her cube handling was near perfect. Cube handling in a match is totally different than in money play, doubling windows change with the score, in money play they are constant.
@@puppetsock Indeed. It was nauseating. I couldn't watch it any longer.
For the exception of beginners, I believe that the luck of the dice, plays a very big part in determining a match, against ANY player, once you've learned how to move around the board, with a full understanding of how the game the game is played. Having said that, the more doubles that a player rolls, the more likely they are, of winning. No matter who they face. Therefore, Anyone can bite the dust depending on the roll of the dice.
That is true. Magriel mentions in his seminal book from 1973 that part of the fascination of backgammon is how a beginner can beat a world-class expert if their difference in luck is great enough. The expert's higher skill can minimize the chance of this happening and stack the odds in his favor, but that's all it is: stacking the odds. It's not guaranteeing the odds. This is why matches of backgammon last several rounds: the more rounds, the less influence luck has, and the more the skill difference can shine through.
thats deep
@@bennemannapplies to all of life really. Nothing you want is ever guaranteed, all you can do is stack the odds in your favour. Unlike backgammon there's rarely a way of calculating those odds, but they still exist.
Notice how player with black stones wearing white shirt, while other player is complete opposite.
Why is the player playing the white pieces wearing black, and vice versa?
This is an ancient backgammon rule that is by and large taken out of modern backgammon. Players are no longer expected to wear the colors of their opponents checkers. Yet evethough backgammon organizations do not hold people accountable for not following this rule, some players still like to honor it even today.
@@Jesterday31 Yes, and they must change clothes when their men are yellow, brown, or green, red, or blue. That is where the expression, "quick change artist," came from because they are on the clock.
My favorite game to play!!!!!
❤
When I watch these tournaments I like to pause video right after the die is rolled so I can mentally do the play I would make and see if they would do same play. If they do...cool...if not then I like to learn from the best their strategy.
Nice work but u must know that this people are not magicians for backgammon and also many movement can be different depend what dice u get in next throw..... i watch this game and believe me nothing special this people playing..... backgammon is simple game

I'm sorry that the camera was just a little too close to see the scoreboard and the clocks.
I downloaded the match file and ran it through XG. Mochy had a PR of 4.8 (world class) and Alexandra 8.4 (advanced) but she was hugely out-lucked. Commiserations Alex, you played well.
Thank you for this. It’s frustrating to see so many people dissing on her play, when so much (all?) of it came down to luck. I guess for some, any excuse to let their misogyny show while maintaining deniability.... sigh.

@@DavidLindes Dude... what the duck are you talking about...
I am new to this game and wanted to know why they beared off their checkers the way they wanted at the end of the round? I've read that there are very strict rules of how player must bear off checkers. For example: if my dice were 2 and 3; and I have a checker at 3, then I must bear off that checker. And if I haven't got any checkers on 2nd triangle, then I must move the checker that is closest to the 2nd triangle, but further away from the border of the game board.
Did I misunderstood the rules? Can you please explain? :)
No you don't need to bear off a checker from the 3 point. If you can move another checker with a 3, you can do it. Or sometimes you can move the checker off the 3 with a smaller roll and bear off something else. The only strict rule is that if there is a move that uses both dice, you must make it.
I love backgammon
Oh good so do I m8
Me the last week: i always see this board game lets see how to play it
Me today: excited by seen a championship of backgammon
You should show the number of each movement, please.
Thanks.
How do you play with all that background noise?
POV of me clicking this on my recommended, not knowing wtf is going on, watch a separate video explain how to play, come back and still be CONFUSED AF! LOLOL
So i was playing with my nephew and looked up sets on my phone to buy him one.... this pops up on my desktop.....not that I'm complaining mind you, but still
El chico ganó por goleada.
Buen video
Where i can buy such a huge board?
Mochy, I wanted to congratulate you for having reached +200K views. I remember this video was the first backgammon video I ever saw when you just relased it, for I started to play a few weeks before that, and you played a fair part in me going from a total beginner to a 3.6 average player so quick. Back then, you were inspiring me, you still inspire me, and I hope you'll continue inspiring me. Cheers.
Thank you Evan, keep on playing. 3.6? amazing. world is changing.
How do people improve at backgammon? I know how they do in chess, but where are backgammon players so you can improve your rating? What's the best backgammon learning website?

@@trainerred6582 I would start with www.bkgm.com/ and Facebook group backgammon strategy
@@trainerred6582 backgammon is very interesting and also easy job to learn how to play....
New player on learning here. Anyone could tell me if is there some etiquette rule which tells the player who are next to victory for don't use the doubling cube? It seems to me that this would be a way to end soon those matches avoind wasting time 😢
Players must alternate doubling the cube, so in the first game, he was not allowed to redouble once victory was assured. (I only watched the first 10 minutes.)
How can they move backwards?
Bin überrascht, dass es keine touch-move -Regel gibt. Würde mich nerven. Haben wir das in den 70ern nicht anders gespielt? Habe 3 Turniere veranstaltet.
i so wanna get into this game, heck I want the board!
It is a great game. My brother in law and I played it allmost every night....a few wines.....a doobie.......great fun.....except when he wins....;-)
This looks like an P40 Board. they're like $1000 ish
why the revolve of pieces are different when you playing in computer?
You can play either direction, its optional.
what happened at 23:50? why did they stop playing?
Am new to Backgammon-- what kind of board does Mochy have? looks great
Not sure but it looks like a Geoffrey Parker board, got £3000 to spare? then go get one.
@@mobiusklein9140
Although Geoffrey Parker does makes insanely gorgeous boards, I’m not sure this is one of them. It looks closer to a P 40, in my opinion.
@@BobBilheimer - After a closer look, I think you're right Bob.
En la primera ronda por que dio la victoria la chica si aún no salían todas las fichas?
Mochy seni izlerken çok yoruluyorum ben ya.
At 14:28 he throws a 2 and a 4. Then he proceeds by moving 2 checkers from point 2. How does that work? Can you split a 4 over two checkers? And a little after that the game ends. Why? Aren't all checkers supposed to be off the board? I just started playing yesterday and I'm so confused and full of questions now hahah. Maybe someone can enlighten me!
I'm sure you've learnt this by now but during the bare off in this situation for example, since he has no checkers in the 4 point, 5 point or 6 point he is forced to take a checker off of the 2 point. if he had no checkers in the 4 point but a checker in the 5 point he would be forced to move the checker from 5 - 1

First game was good. I liked how you made the primes!
First game was good???
Hahahaha
Yes. First game was good! This giannis ola guy must be dumb!
@Codename: Rebirth.Ok let's analyze the first game.
0:17 The girl plays wrong 4/3, you don't play on 24/21. you play on 24/20 and on 13/10.
0:42 The doubles that the Vietcong plays are: the first two correctly but then he has to play one of his checkers from 24/20.
1:10 the 6/6 that the warrior plays are wrong. He has to take two of his checkers from 13/7 and from 11/5 so that it makes five doors and game over.
10:00 he thinks for a minute how he will play 6/4. Fortunately after a minute, a miracle happened and he played it right
11:35 Two minutes he thought how will play 5/3. Luckily after 2 fucking minutes he played well again. How long does it takes to think about this simple movement? .Competitors.Are you listen to me??
Change the fucken rules.Our nerves are broken
13:25 wrong playing by the girl. not from 12 /4 one checker. You have to play from 12/8 one checker and from 4/1 the other. why? Because if girls dice has 5 or 6 in the next throw she will not be forced to take the checker that threatens the opponent in his area, which he did, of course.hahahah.
Because brinking the vietkogk 3/1,4/1,5/1,6/1,his checker will be exposed.
Tragiiiiiiicccccccccc
After my words ,you believe tha the first game was good???
Bye

What is Alexandra doing in the first game? Avoiding a gammon? Taking all those checkers out of play guarantees a loss.
Can you please explain (or anyone) what big dice do? Thanks
How to Use the Doubling Cube
Each backgammon game starts with a value of one point. The doubling cube is placed in the middle of the bar and is not controlled by either player.
When a player feels he has the advantage in a game, that player can choose to offer a double before rolling the dice-effectively doubling the value of the game.
The opposing player can turn down the offer but concedes the game by doing so and pays one point.
If the opposing player accepts the offer, the value of the game doubles-from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, or from 4 to 8, for example.
When a player accepts a double, he takes control of the doubling cube and is the only player who can make the next offer of a double. Knowing when to accept a double and when to decline is a sign of a skilled backgammon player. www.thesprucecrafts.com/how-to-use-a-backgammon-doubling-cube-409278
@@bgmochy thank you very much
@@subyk6046 NO problem. Cube makes the game much more interesting. So this video we played to 9points but using a cube, so it can be finished one game as well.
Mochy.If you played as well as you explained here, then I would admit it to you
Nice games
someone tell me what is going on??
I have never seen anyone throw so many doubles as Mochy in this match. And his opponent had awful dice, just to add insult to injury. There's a lot of strategy in backgammon, but there's a huge element of luck, too, and Mochy had more than his fair share.

How do you roll doubles so often 🤔
i know the rule of backgammon but what is that big die with the number 2 on it?
It’s a Doubling cube, it doubles the point value of the game and the other player can accept or forfeit
@@felixmax7404 thanks!
Can you please explain (or anyone ) the move 5 & 1 at 18:20 and why you settled with the exposed piece at 18:50.
An amateur like myself would have played the one piece 1 and then 5.
She’s on the bar, so she has to roll in with a 2 or a 3. That means that 22, 36, and 23 are hitting rolls for her. Even if she does hit, she will still likely have to split the checker from the 18 which leaves additional shots for Mochy coming in from the bar. Any 3, 12, 52, 43, 16 all come in and hit her blots on the inner board. The play from Mochy increases his chance of a gammon which he did end up getting. It’s also why he didn’t cube. She was very underdeveloped in her board, so the risks outweighed the rewards. He just wasn’t concerned about being hit and he wanted to get more numbers that allow him to make inner points next turn.
there are a few reasons: black has only two slots to get the stone in from the bridge and doing that and making the jump out to the 6-3 point is not likely. But if it happens, black's home is wide open for reentry and has a stone open which could very easily get hit. White also has the two stones on the 13 point that needs to go home and in the event they are split, you want ore than one landing spot at the 6-2, 6-3 point. so on balance, its a good risk ti tke because its quick to recover from if white gets knocked out..
Look.
Even if I have a bad opinion for these players(many many many mistakes),at this time surprisingly, the man played correctly. Because he gives his posibility to himself to make a door in his area and on the other hand because the girl in its area is open. If I watch the whole match, I'm sure I will count more than 300 errors.
But I dont want because my eyes hurts when I watch players like them.
The way we play In Greece you get a slap if you change your moves, 1 move that's it LOL the dude is playing out every combination before finally deciding, what a Malaka !
Just watched this again as I detect a worrying trend in backgammon tournaments; the level of background noise is becoming a concern and is at a level that would simply not be tolerated in other indoor games of concentration.
Is this a different kind of backgammon? I'm confused.
It's a kind of joke ...
I always played backgammon the other way around, the first time i watched a game of backgammon i was so confused as well
Ok I’ve been trying to learn how to play for a few days now but every time I look up rules they’re explained differently, it’s a shame because for some reason I’m intrigued by it the game and I need a new hobby

The game probably originated in Ancient Persia or Egypt. They have a clock with a time limit in big tournaments, so they cannot think too long - they could lose if their clock time is all gone, just like in Chess!
What's game? I dont know but i thing it interesting.
Its called backgammon, its a very old game and its still very popular in the middle east. There are different types of versions such as mahbuse which consists of starting at the very first line (this version is pretty popular since its the harder version of what they are playing). For starters i guess u can start playing the "backgammon" version they are playing...
Thank you for watching my video. This is called backgammon and it is a good fun game! th-cam.com/video/_hCUrQSGqTI/w-d-xo.html
I'm a Beginner. Can someone please explain Mochy's thought process @ 9:42 when he rolls a 6/4? I don't understand why it takes him so long to arrive at his decision.
I think he's thinking about the best way how to bear in without leaving a shot. The 3 Point inner Board of her is not that strong but the 3 checkers on Mochys 3 Point make it difficult to bear in. This is crucial because if you get hit and you fan she can easily play out her Checkers with 4s,5s and 6s from the 3 Point without crunching her inner Board. That's why Mochy carefully thinks about the best way to bear in minimalizing her chances to hit and force her to crunch her inner Board that's why you not only think about not getting hit but also about keeping the 4-Prime long enough that she crunches so that you can easily enter if you get hit. So for example you could play 17/11 6/2 or 17/11 5/1. I analyzed the position in extreme gammon and these alternatives are close but Mochy as usually comes up with the best play 17/7.
Mochy is thinking about 2 minutes how to play 6/1 the first movement.
Hahahha.
What makes you believe that this movement would played it faster???
Hahahah.
He has slow thought probably because his iq is under the average.
So dont ask why.
Just enjoy it and laugh
Not that I am an expert… But I seriously doubt that Mochy is remotely concerned about being hit. Even if he is hit, he would almost certainly come out immediately, as her homeboard is all but crunched already.
My first inclination is that the reason he’s taking so long is to consider if she rolls less than a seven, and leaves her self open to being re-hit, thereby increasing Mochy‘s chances of a gammon

It's quite simple, He's unsure. Fear, can be the correct term to use. The fear of making a costly mistake, could make one ponder on a move, that's a no brainer.

I didn't like her 5-6 play at 16:55. Why not move the single to safety?
Because she wants to threat .
And she still back in the race.
I clearly don't understand a couple of things. One, why is it a player can keep moving jockeying their checkers around? It seems ripe for cheating. And second, why is there such deliberation once your pieces are in your corner? Why wouldn't you just pull them out? (e.g. @13:00)?
a) What cheating?
b) It's not only his pieces there
@@inuksukharata5943 I didn't say there was cheating, just that it could be ripe for cheating. I would think that picking up the checkers, palming them, etc... then not committing, would be problematic. (say, in a street game)

Can you move back and forth .?
Yes, until you hit the clock in the tournament. Although doing too much is not a good manner
Checkers may only be moved in one direction (i.e., around the board to your home quadrant), and may not be moved backwards. That being said, players are allowed to "preview" potential plays during their turn, which is why you may see them move checkers one way, then move them back, then try out something different. It helps to visualize what their best play may be. A player's chosen play is set and their turn finished either when they pick up their dice, or in the case where they're sharing one pair of dice, when they hit the clock.
The table talking from these two was distracting.
Maybe I also be champion.. Please let me know how to join in tournament

I enjoy the game r
tremendously. Always only played for enjoyment. Two things I disagree on here is the backwards and forwards moving of pieces as well as stacking more than five on a line, makes the game easier. Not much of a challenge then
You disagree with the rule of allowing more than 5 checkers on one point? But that IS the rule in standard backgammon. The 5-limit is not played by many people, and it has disadvantages later in the game, where it can prevent and turnaround by stopping the winning player from exposing a checker in the bear-off. Also, stacking 5 or more on one point is mostly a disadvantage strategically, as any backgammon Grandmaster will tell you! And, believe me, they KNOW the "unknown unknowns" of fun-players ;-)
How do people improve at backgammon? I can't find coaches, learning websites, or even 1 person that knows how to play. Shouldn't you be able to play stronger people to improve like in chess? But where are the players? It seems like no one plays backgammon. I've seen more Pokemon Trading Card and even Smash Bros. Melee tournaments than backgammon
You might want to check Backgammongalaxy.com, the biggest backgammon server. For learning, if you use facebook, check backgammon strategy forum where people post problems from beginners to experts. You can also find some tutoring videos made by backgammongalaxy here on youtube. There are www.backgammonlearningcenter.com/ for hiring coaches. I believe they also post bunch of free lecture videos.
Quite frankly, to me, there are way too many tournaments online for now, so check the tournament schedule on USBGF backgammon site. Our marketing and promoting is too weak so that we didn't reach you. Sad, but thank you for realization.
@@jblmochi I'm from Mexico and I'm in the same situation than Trainer Red. Here there are amateur torunaments but for me are unafordable (I don't even have a decent board hahaha). Eventhough I play with my gf trying to emulate tournament rules. Is it possible to play tournaments for free with real persons in backgammongalaxy.com/
Thanks for sharing your videos
I play at this site cardgames.io/backgammon/ You get to play against the computer or other people (recommended, because the computer makes some questionable moves). It's no frills but simple and straightforward. The dice rolls feel pretty random. You can give yourself a name, and you'll see some of the same people show up regularly. It's also really easy to set up a match. Most of the people you'll face play quickly enough that you can finish a game in 8-10 minutes. Many of the players there are good, and I've gotten to see, and try out, different styles of play.
There is quite a bit of literature written on backgammon, both physically and online
Over thinking on rolls with most logical choices . Waste of energy
I'm surprised they guy playing the white checkers didn't lose on time. Too bad we couldn't see how it played out to see if he did or not.
@@jcf20010 The guy with the white Checkers is Mochy, voted Nr. 1 of Worlds best Player in 2019. When he thinks about something on the board then because there is something to think about.
@@user-pd9cq7sm8o Do you know how many players are better than Mochy in the planet earth??
Hahahha.
They are countless.
It's the only sport from all the sports that exists better players for sure than the world champions.
Because that's the nature of this sport.
Think about it and then you respond me
@@giannisola_sta_robot6932 yeah, but he's ranked and people actually know his name.
@@jcf20010 Hi, no I didn't lose on time. Sorry for the bad angle so that you guys don't see the clock. Also, the next game (until the end) can be seen here. th-cam.com/video/R-2vjihp1_w/w-d-xo.html

If I'm her I'm flipping that table over and ripping that notepad up lol😤
Haha... the board has his name on it... maybe the dice are his, too, and rigged? :D
2020 i still don't get this game 😄what is this XD
why they checking after finishing the move? is not a chest game
I want that board so bad
that board is nothing compared to my ivory set
@@Funnyguy416 lucky you I just have a basic one saving up to get a nicer one
It's yours for around £3000
In the second play there was a (remote) chance of a gammon. They should have played ‘til the end, no???
Do u mean the last play.......she gave up.......Never give up in BG......
If I'm counting correctly, at most he would have won in three moves (even with the lowest roll of 2 and 1), and she needed more than three moves (even if she rolled double sixes) to eliminate the gammon.
