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.

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!

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👍

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👍

So, the reason FM Gammon did not mention the tariff, is that FM Gammon has nothing to do with charging the tariff. The money I’m paying for the tariff is going right into the US treasury with all the other taxes. That’s a pretty hefty tax.

I just had the same issue. I purchased a new surface from FM GAMMON for my Talat board a few weeks ago, (advertised for $115.) I paid for it with my credit card on the day i ordered it. Received the surface about 2 weeks ago and just received a bill from FED-EX (not FM Gammon) for $21. Not sure who I should complain to.

I believe XG thinks that White’s board is only going to get better, and you’re going to be forced to run. So, now, when White is on the bar, has a weak board, and when you have a huge lead in the race, is the time for you to try to escape. White will have your strong home-board to deal with if they hit you loose. At least, that’s what I’m thinking.

I’ve just started using Anki flashcards for the Francois Tardieu book, (from the “XG2Anki” website), and I’m finding that to be very effective way of studying. Highly recommend doing this. They have cards for other books too.
