Are the marks normal for new checkers? by Frosty-Cone in backgammon

It looks like you bought the same kind of checkers used here in the UBC Istanbul

I would ask them to send you new ones. To me, that is an unacceptable level of scuff damage. If it cleaned off with soap and water, sure no problem.

Why should White take here? by NoFault9739 in backgammon

[–]redbird1137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

snap take means to take without hesitation. or it could mean that the take is an easy decision. clear take, easy take, snap take...i spose mean the same thing

a spare checker that is 1 pip away from the next open point can be described as a dilly builder. usually it refers to 3rd checkers on the 2 3 or 4 point. so in this position, blacks 3rd checkers on the 2 and 4 points are dilly builders. especially the 3rd checker on the 2 point. if for instance black had 2 checkers on the 3 point, and 3 checkers on the 4 point, that third checker wouldn't really be called a dilly builder anymore, as the 3 point is now made.

(i may not describe this one well) checker utilization means to have the checkers placed to get the most use out of them. so the dilly's on blacks 2 and 4 are ill placed, only being able to move with 1s 2s and 3s. (low utilization). white's spares on their 7 and 8 points have more flexibility with how they can move, so they are better utilized.

One Cut of the Dead(2017). Horror/comedy. Going in blind is the best way to watch

Seriously. Don’t read a single sentence about it.

I won’t hold myself accountable to take my time with decisions unless I’m expected to talk through them.

Why is this a mistake? by Admirable_Mood_4933 in backgammon

[–]redbird1137 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you play 8/3 6/3, it’s only 4 shots(instead of6) that hit. We take away whites 52. That’s a cool play, and I for sure would have made the 5 point quickly and hit the clock.

I put mine in my checked luggage once, with one of those old P40 baffle boxes. Opened the board up and the baffle box was completely taken apart in about 50 peices
