In Eastern Europe we do not play with a cube because in Backgammon the game can very quickly & at last moment turn around by just a couple of good rolls.. so basically being forced to give up a game just because the opponent thinks at that moment is in the lead doesn't really make any sense, the game isn't over until it's over
@Marc Olsen Hello! You can't analyze a Tavla match with the XG match equity table. The reason is simple. For example, at the score 2-4 (1 away - 3 away Crawford) your opponent was gammon go. In backgammon, at this score, the gammon has no value. In that game, he had many situation to force a gammon, like the blunder (-0,109) 3/2 when he moved 16/11 and the best was 16/14 6/3*. In Tavla match, his move pays a lot more equity, because he really want a gammon.
My proper XG cubeless analysis results (all moves analyzed in XGR++ setting): PRs 3,21 vs 9,87 Errors 10 vs 22 Blunders 3 vs 12 Jokers 12 vs 15. GM Marc's stats after a detailed (with rollouts) GnuBG analysis are: PR= Error total mEMG(MWC)/2= 6,4/2= 3,20. Snowie Error rate= 2,7 Error based abs.FIBS rating= 1961,4. Errors= 11 Blunders= 3 Lucky and very lucky moves= 8 Unlucky and very unlucky moves= 10. The way to analyze such cubeless matches is to play the match in cubeless settings in GnuBG, then save the match in Jellyfish Match (*mat) format. Finally, import this *mat file to XG2 and switch to Cubeless when asked about the Cube Limit.
Greetings from Turkey :) Usually Turkish players plays like this man :)) except for people who not interested in professional backgammon.Actually İts pretty strange :))
You can set xg for cubeless so that the pr is more accurate and the checker play analysis is correct because sometimes the best cubeful checker play is different than the best cubeless checker play. One question. How did you record the game and did you then transcribe it into xg?
you can transcribe any game manually using XG after the fact. He had to watch the video and keep pausing and entering the dice rolls and moves when he got back to his apartment/home. VERY tedious to do.
That's too fast also... I hope it will be slower in potential future video. xg needs to have setting for no backgammon and allow doubles(66,55 etc) on first roll
to me it seems the turkish guy is try to control the dice, they are almost nerver rolling but spinning and also when hi take the dice few times reposition the dice in his hand before the trow!thats why always use a cup!
Oliver Rietz i calculate the PR at the end, since the Analysis was done by cubeful XG, so the PR’s shown are completely useless. PR’s calculated on the basis of XG checkerplay analysis (cubeful) was 3.2 for me and 9.5-10 for my opponent.
Thats crazy Marc. So glad here in the US we have rules and manners. That speed play and picking up your dice before you can even see it woud be considered RUDE. You really have to be on your game as I can see how easy it is to get scammed/cheated by them making illegal plays or have their friends try to convince you something is amiss. Congrats.
He's not really trying to trick him or anything. Tavla is usually played for fun in spare time, so people play it very fast, to save time. They're used to it.
@@ahmetgrcn2663 Exactly, there is a difference in expected behavior when You play to socialize/have fun. Playing "turkish" style seems to bring more life into play. Best regards from Poland!
