yes ok...but this is by computer generated dice, which punish the wrong moves. i played the game...unrealistic. i like your live over the board analysis of real games. these games are not real. PC generates dice based on bias algorythm. meaning...if you dont make the move the pc recommends it will punish you.
notice how after the 4 1 prime play you made on the 7 pt..he rolled a 1 1 that would have punished you severely had you taken on the ace. its exactly what im saying above...PC arranges the numbers and determines the outcome already based on your moves, favor increasing more and more towards the player with less error, there is no chance in essence just error based format...good way to learn the game professionaly but not realistic.
another great sequence is the next roll. he makes a "bad move" attacking on the 5 pt and you roll a 5 5, lol which not only enters but punished the blot on the 3 point. my pt exactly is the 55 was already in the slot you just didnt know, AI knew and thats how you have to play this game is automatically assume the AI will punish your play no matter little error difference it is, it will punish the play from 2nd best on down...and 75% reward the least error made, all the time. take it with a grain of salt. AI has the dice generated before you even click roll.
At 36:50 white has 58% wins and 13% gammons and the cube is a borderline take/pass. Then at 54:20 the opponent has more advantages in 3 fronts: 1- his wins is higher at 63%; his gammons chances are twice higher; 3- He has a higher score in the match (now 2 against the previous 0). So the cube should be even more of a pass, but now it's a total take? What gives?
Just fantastic. Marc 'lifts the veil' on how a grandmaster approaches the 2 or 3 key turning points - and plenty of others - to lift your game from OK to outstanding. It's never simply what's the best move with the throw I just made but always, what will help me win the game eventually - the next 2/3/4/... throws. Play the long game or be prepared to lose more than you win. Awesome... 🥰
Great vid… don’t understand why Marc avoided making the golden point, or even discussing making the golden point in his home board on the game 3. Weird. Would have been nice to understand why as he got hit here a few minutes later.
Double 2 40:27 min in. I would have used 3 of them to build an anchor at the 20 point and then 6/4 even though you've said the 4 point is slightly better than the 20 point, but in this case I wouldn't be so afraid of getting hit because he is stacked and stripped in his prime position...
@36:18 I still hold it is impossible for an unbiased human player to tell, so we should deal with it as a 50-50 even though it probably is not so. About the gammon chance, don't even bother to fathom a guess. Dealing with the cube, obviously pass to hold the lead for one more game.
Read a Backgammon book, played a bunch of matches on 247backgammon and played my gf and assumed I was ready to head to Galaxy and start playing. Immediately lost my first match 1-7 and had like a 40% error rate :(. Seeing this level of play is unreal to me.
After playing on one of these boards, I sold my existing best board and ordered one. I compared all the boards available and the felt makes it quieter than most boards, and all the reviews praised the attention to detail. I have another 2.5 months before it arrives but it will be worth the wait as it will be a board that I have for the rest of my life.
Great video! You do a superb job explaining the game in perfect detail. I'm just beginning to get into backgammon. What a great game. Thank you so much.
