Thank you so much! It is not to easy to convey all the emotions and thoughts about every position, that goes to my mind. Luckily I have a lot of experience through writing three backgammon books. In this video I tried to be very thorough and go as deep as my mind goes (almost) :).

Excellent video! I hope we get more of these! So informative!

Your explanations are extremely helpful, especially when two excellent players battle. Can't thank you enough, I learned a bundle. Steve Terry

Thanks Marc. I find the analyzed matches to be excellent lessons. Appreciate you give the logic of both your and opponent's moves and use the overlay to help explain the concepts.

Very enjoyable. I could watch these types of videos all day long. (Yea, I guess that makes me a backgammon nerd. Well, I suppose there are worse things one could be.) As always, thanks for taking the time to put it all together.

Superb analysis. Please keep doing these, Marc! I'm learning a great deal.

Amazing analysis and video, many thanks Marc. I would be very grateful for another video like this!

This helped me so much as a beginner about to play my first regulated tournament! It was interesting to know Marc played for Brondby as well which is a high standard of football as well!

Just a 7 point match and 93 minutes long analysis. That's cool. Thanks a lot Mr. Olsen.

What an absolutely invaluable video to have an analysis of EVERY play in a match. Always enjoy Marc's content but never before as much as this - thanks so much!

A big thank you Marc for this in deep analysis. It's a really good complement to your book to see how work the contact value, blitz value... concepts in action. Hope there will be other interesting videos like that :-)

Exactly! Extremely powerful concepts in that book! Especially understanding how the four game plans work: prime, blitz, race and contact.

I learned probably more from this video than from reading some books!

Books usually explains specific and(or) complex strategies(which are off course important), but overlook these innocents moves where we mostly make blunders, going through the all match is more instructive and Marc gives clear explanations. Thumb up

@@Marcolino10DK So helpful. Not only for analyzing the good move options, but also for often explaining why the blunder (and big blunder) options are wrong. Enjoying "Pure Strategy" now. Any chance of doing an advanced video on bear in and bear off vs. anchors on different points (or double anchors)? I seem to blow a lot of games that way. Continued thanks.

41s-64P*-41-43: The two splits are dead-even on ++. Two down is also reasonable (0.008)

Hello Marc, Game 4, Move 36. You roll 54 and Computer says you should leave the anchor rather then play 11/2. The explanation ist not "11/2 is better for saving the gammon" (as they dont count at this score or let me quote Marc Olsen: "I give a shit about gammons here" :-D) but i guess, that there is a small chance that you have do destroy your closed board with a combination of small numbers.

@Marcolino10DK

Der Lambach yes, that is true!

What does this mean, when it's too good to double? The position of keeping the cube and winning, also possibly by gammon, is stronger than the double back and drop ending the game with 2 points?

What do the numbers in the left mean?

You got so lucky in those last 2 games. lol

Hi, i play this game since 40 years, there are some Basic rules to follow, and the game is pure luck and if you are playing it live, there is a lot of trash talk involved in it, so can someone pls tell me why there are GM in this game 😂 and also analytics 🤪

The game is not pure luck. If that was the case, then you would be able to beat Mochy in a 25-point match. That's not gonna happen ;-)
