Thanks for this one. The concept of timing has always been a bit confusing for me. Have you been filming these at your home, by the way? You've got a really nice place if so! Dig that pool, man. :)
Thank you! We love these videos, very clear way to unpack these otherwise mysterious concepts. (like how can it be ONLY 60/40 odds with more that a 30 pip lead? very clearly explained thank you!!)
Question - @ 1:10 you say that Green is forced to break the anchor if they roll a 3-6, 4-6, or 5-6. But can't green just move the single 6 point checker 3,4, or 5 spaces and then leave themselves no legal moves for the 6 dice roll? That would prevent having to break up the anchor at a small loss of time.
In Backgammon, if using both dice is possible, then you must use both dice. As it is possible to move 3 and then 6, then you have to do that even when it is painful to do so. You are not allowed to make a move that prevents the other dice from being used if there is a way that they can both be used.

That was very helpful...thankyou! What's going on in your pool in the background? The water is doing something that reminds me of a swarm of bees.
For me timing is enjoying Vale do Lobo like you do! Btw, I have a question. Why aren´t the chairs facing the pool? :) Thanks for the great video Marc
Good question!? haha.
No one can beat my doubles ratio.
as long as you have diceses in the game it is a lucks game !
Hi man
When you make backgammon app for iOS? We are waiting
We are working on it! Hopefully within the next 2-3 months.
You have to get a better camera person but love the content
where does a beginner learn online or in club
Read this book: shop.backgammongalaxy.com/products/how-not-to-suck-at-backgammon-by-marc-olsen-for-beginners-intermediate-players-softcover
Just out of curiosity were you good at mathematics at school ???
would like to watch but the moving camera is giving me vertigo!
One should not conflate lack of timing with poor flexibility.
Why is crunching bad to my mind there is less chance of dropping a counter
There were 69 likes, I really didn't want to change it, but...
The only time when you can say someone has an inferior race haha
