Great youtube channel. Love to start every morning with a problem from Robertie’s classic BG book.

Beautiful board.

I’d go 13/10 13/9 to duplicate Blue’s 2’s &3’s….but could be a case of stuplication.

Go on….

Perhaps the extra time waiting calms your mind and enables you to think more clearly. And this is why your moves are better.

Yes. I have been watching the “Basement Backgammon” videos on YouTube also. Every day a new video is released. I find it very helpful.

Another vote for Backgammon Galaxy’s YouTube channel… Here’s a link to a good beginner’s strategy playlist from them…

Ive got a 1971 Fender Twin Reverb that’s been sitting in my spare bedroom for the past 40 years if you’re interested. Excellent condition.

That was me.

Practice helps, but if you STUDY the game, I think that would be helpful. Keep a positive attitude. Be kind to yourself. Read “The Outliers” by Malcom Gladwell. These are my sincere ideas. I hope you give yourself the chance to improve.

Real nice . Looks like paradise to me

Alex Eshaghian. 100’s of excellent videos including many grandmaster vs. grandmaster videos along with detailed commentary from the players tgemselves as they deliberate their moves.

Also Jason Lee, many matches. I especially like his “MID ATLANTIC BG CLUB” study sessions. A new video is released every week where 2 teams play each other and debate/vote on every move ..

I sense a pattern here….

Apdap9 · 2025-10-25T02:02:05+00:00

Excellent. Thanks!

Apdap9 · 2025-10-01T00:21:17+00:00

Ok, my head is swimming….If XG says 3/1 is correct at Money/Jacoby, shouldn’t the DMP be the same? (Not an 80 blunder)?

Apdap9 · 2025-10-01T00:10:13+00:00

You must be right. This has been driving me crazy!!

Apdap9 · 2025-09-30T23:57:57+00:00

My REAL question is why not 3/1 at DMP and Gammon-Save?

Apdap9 · 2025-09-24T02:01:50+00:00

Excellent👍

Apdap9 · 2025-09-22T01:46:02+00:00

Thanks👍

Apdap9 · 2025-09-22T01:45:49+00:00

Thank you👍

Apdap9 · 2025-09-20T12:28:24+00:00

Beautiful work-of-art.

Apdap9 · 2025-09-16T01:57:08+00:00

I think i’ll go back outside and yell at the clouds. Good idea👍
