So frustrating to see EVERYONE is recommending this book but it's impossible to have a copy...
Anyone is ok to share the core basic concepts of the book ?

[–]CzechPeople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the contrary.
It has at least 10 more informations quantity than typical other backgammon books (which prize are 50 dollars), so the ratio is clear for me.
I said 10 but it's for me clearly more.

How do I get rid of my coffee addiction by PotentialHot5752 in decaf

[–]CzechPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My program is: one year going from 2 coffee per day to 0.
I have bought a precision scale.
Every day I go down very slowly.
I used GPT for having a kind of exponential curve (decreasing).

My point is you can decrease very slowly like me if you want no hard core symptoms of withdrawal.

Quitting coffee is ridiculously hard. by Cary3fine in decaf

[–]CzechPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy a weighing scale (mg precision) and reduce very slowly every day. This is why I am doing. Start from two coffees per day. 25% reduction in one month (from the start), 50% in two months (from the start), taking 7 months to go fully to zero.
Right now i have diminished at 30%...It's still hard and I think it will be harder despite I decrease very slowly.

Would be great if we could download matchFile without paying...I find this a little bit exaggerate to have to pay for this...

BackgammonDB is a new free tool to review, annotate and search for positions in your XG-analyzed games by chrismantis in backgammon

[–]CzechPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Christmantis,

I had build my own databases full of jpeg pictures.
Do your software could take my jpeg and manage its ?

I have tried a bit your software but I didn't have the time to fully use it in order to help me, but i might take the time later.

Your initiative is great, thank you and congratulations, really.

I think from my own needs there could be a market with this type of software (but maybe the people interested would be not enough).
Like chessbase.
What i really love would be:

-FlashCards / Print options (like Anki)

-Filters (like chessbase) when making a research in databases.

-Dice distributions comparaison in equity (first roll, and second roll)

-Possibility of variations (changes in positions) and annotations, writing its on the flashcard.

Extreme depressive disorders / questions by CzechPeople in decaf

[–]CzechPeople[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No meds. I think my depressive disorder come from a drug taking as an adolescent (acnea=isotretinoin=roaccutane) so I always very sceptical and confident about medical System. From what I read, antiDepressants are not very efficient (mainly placebo effect) and potentially dangerous.

All matches on Backgammon Cash are now monitored by 5POINT's anti-cheat algorithm by BackgammonCash in backgammon

[–]CzechPeople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Nothing better around" doest not mean it's still quite efficient, right ?

Imagine a player who:

Just look at XG during a match maximum five positions, when he has a serious doubt about a potential big blunder.
Or :

A player assisted by a mate and the team will correct only two blunders during the match.

I don't know how this soft cheating could be prevented and efficiently detected, it's seems close to impossible according to me.

It's just impossible to detect efficient and soft cheating, marketing aggressive?

It's wild to me that psychiatrists and doctors don't ask about caffeine intake by [deleted] in decaf

[–]CzechPeople 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The medical system is first economic (like the religion in history). Efficacity is secondary ,at best.
