RIP falafel

So much wisdom from Falafel here:

Mike (Falafel) was a true backgammon legend and an amazing friend; may he RIP 😔🙌🏽❣️

I'm really new and casual (and bad) when it comes to backgammon so I didn't know about him. Your comment made me google his name and I'm about to watch a documentary about him. I figured you'd might appreciate to know that while he is gone, he not only lives on in your memory but also through his legacy as new people learn about him.

We need more videos like this. An actual position with a few different but not so obvious choices, and two strong players talking it out, each describing the pros and cons of each play.

Keep doing what you doing Marс. Thanks!!!

Thanks Oleg! There will be many great videos coming in the future!

Backgammon is strange in that you have this tiny community and it means that regular people can talk to world champions. Bill fucking Robertie is personally answering my strategy questions on twoplustwo forums. That's like Michael Jordan coming to check out your high school basketball team.

to say the least. what i love is that unlike in chess, you can always come back from way behnd and stll win the game. BEST GAME EVER!

So cool to hear your and Falafel's comments on such a fun position! my play was Falafel's 24/18 7/2

13-2 for me. RIP Falafel.

More Falafel!!!! Please. :)

So backgammon is difficult before you know the answer and easy to understand once you do know the answer. Therefore, it seems that the whole fun of it is working out the answer! Myself, I had no clue about this 65 and no way to find the correct move.

RIP legend :(

Throw 2 lovers leaps and you are out and ahead in the race. The solution is simple :-D

Does the computer take the match score into account?

I chose running... :-) I am a simple soul though

I'm new to backgammon. I want to play someone who is really good!? I just can't imagine how you can be good

24-18 7-2 🙏

Great commentary. I played both 24/13 and 24/18. Black won the first by a pip and white won the 'Falafel variant' by gammon! Although there were successive doubles for white and a super lucky 61 that got in and hit the move after 65 having been hit by black on the 18 point. I'm a rookie fyi so margin for error :)

😎👍🎲🎲👊🍻

13/2

8 pip down in a race with over 100 pips + cube in your hands + no blitz risk by immediate ( saving gammon ) = 24-13 that what i would say in a choutte to convince the captain :) This is no money game but would run anyway

Why not move 7/6 to 1?

24-18 7-2 but I haven't noticed it

Well, I prefer the length 1 matches

The logic behind this I think is because blue has many bad rolls and he is also very "thin", not stacked up. He will most definitely leave a shot and we will have an extra attacker out to cover our outfield after we hit him.

I would have played 13/2. i dont like 24/18 because the 18 blot will be hit to often. I mean on 7:23min

Disease?

Falafel passed away yesterday, from a brain tumor... So sad. He was the biggest legend in the game, and his legacy and personality will be forever remembered.

Wow, I forgot I had viewed and commented on this video. I was just going to express my condolences when I saw my prior comment. I loved when Falafel did commentary on matches. Such a great mind and fun person

What does Kebab has to say about it after Falafel?

run 24 to 13, use 24 as a commando. hard for him to hit safely for 2 rolls. spread open behind him and fill 1, 2 and 4 asap, then snipe the remaining as he fills. dont worry about getting hit, your hit will come and if you are filled he will be sitting
