Thanks for the book shoutouts Justin! 😘

Justin don't listen to negative comments, your commentary is brilliant. Multiple times i struggled to not piss my pants 'cause i was laughing so hard. Specially when Sander rolled that 16 from the bar and you went OHHH MY GAWD!! lol TBH the best couple of commentators would be Justin+Nick, they both provide valuable comments, on plays and tactics but Justin just takes the fun department to the next level lol GG

Thank you Backgammon Galaxy for making this a possibility. Truly awesome stuff 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

1:02:00 As a transcriber, I consider it standard practice to give the gammon save decision. I wouldn't enter a resignation. As long as he rolled a gammon saving number, we can assume he makes the right move.

Sanders luck rating is just unbelievable!!

I’m shocked Mochy didn’t pass the Cube game 1 😱

59:04 Can I buy these dice on the Galaxy shop Marc? hahaha hilarious

I love it

Первые две партии показали: программа часто выдаёт ошибочные ходы по 1-й линии.

Remember. Never Bury anything under a pyramid. Poor Mochi. King Tut would agree. His Senet board (, early backgammon is in our museum).

Mochy played an amazing match, but his take in the first game was very costly. Sometimes one mistake is all it takes!

Where can we get a copy of the match files?

What happened to Nick?

Mocha what’s wrong with you. 😮

27:50 how to calculate is this a pass or take?

Did you get it? Do you like it?

Never seen pro play before and I'm pretty new to the game. I thought doubles rolled again. Is that not the case in a professional setting?

Mochy having own theme music, gold!! ps have to say production on this tournament is really good apart from Marc and Nick's mics sounding too bright and tinny. hurts your ears after a while

when were these played?

End of November I think.

The curse of the buried chequer. How to snatch defeat from the Jaws of victory. Cubing at a loss.

To hit or not to hit. That is the question

At 59:49, it was a blunder to hit at 6-3 imho.

#marcolsen @1:03:00 Why would Sander pass on the cube in this position when he usually takes everything. Was this just to give Mochy a sportsmanship chance? Or was it a game of odds thinking he has to loose a few sooner or later? Whats the free drop? Would love to see a video on this and more information about crawford games and match points systems in general.

It is a free drop as mochy was on an odd number this is due to score as you usually want your oponent on even numbers as it does not differ that much so sometimes on these matches it is a free drop as 6-1 and 6-2 is not so different when your opponent will cube every turn as he broke the crawford. I hope I explained it for you 😉.

The "Post Crawford Trick" is just a PR scam if the defender takes the cube all the time. The pitfall was for Mochy to fall into though since he was winning the PR and could have waited too long, making cube errors along the way.

Cube

it seems that with water you play better

Pfft, beer is mostly water.

Two buried already, no blitz??? Mochi.

The assessment of the candidate moves is often shown for only a second before the jump back to the summary of errors. The summary is not as important and deserves less screen time.

Don't try this at home kids.

Look at Mochy's rolls after 1:02:50. 5-5 3-3 5-5 2-2 6-6 6-6 Can somebody persuade me that this is coincidence?

Buried

So Glad we got Justin Nowell commentating today instead of Nick!! Justin is the GOAT!!! 🐐

@@p0ssesst Nick talks too much and Justin is ... Justin. Too bad there weren't two Marks, he's as good as they get, a PR of 1.0 in commentating.

'World Class' gives 4 points in 1 game to an 'Expert'. Just Because Sander hit 3 for one time. Bacgammon sucks really

I stopped watching live because I found Justin Nowell too intrusive, and too easily distracted from talking about backgammon. And he was so loud! I'm going to have to rewatch it with the sound off.

At first they didn't gel the same as Nick and Mark but throughout the game he became more comfortable and had insightful input to the commentary and discussion.
