  I'll probably catch flack for this, but here goes. I predict the correct opening 4-1 will eventually be 24/20, 6/5. I've been experimenting with this opening for a couple years now, with great success. Yes, it breaks the rule of not leaving bots on both sides of the board. However, this opening fights for the 2 best points on the board. Best case, if your opponent fails to hit either blot, you have a good chance to make BOTH the 5 and 20 points on your next roll, which is close to an early game double. If your opponent rolls a 3/1, he'll certainly point on head but that leaves chances of a return shot making your 5 point, equalizing the position. Ironically, the most devastating return by your opponent is also a 4-1, hitting 2 checkers. My experience has been that in most cases, my opp hits one checker, and I wind up making the unhit slotted checker. I realize this is anecdotal, but it's been working for me

  This is called the "wild" play and has been rolled out thousands of times and is a large error. The benefits you mention are more than compensated by the good rolls the opponent has after this play.

I didn't care for eXtreme Gammon telling me how awful I am so I stick with the AI Factory app. I'm pretty even with its highest level but I suspect that means I am somewhere between intermediate and beginner.

  thx for streaming. The play I was hoping to see 3/1 was at about 2:04:05 a 2,1 played bar/24* 9/7. Playing on stream against a backgame book author, bar/24* 3/1 seemed indicated. gnubg doesn't quite agree with me, but what if the next roll is say a 6,3 or 3,3, don't you want them entering? I would... And it's more fun... the looks really cool factor.

• 
  @AlexEshaghianBackgammonАй бұрын

  At this point you may not want to give the opponent the opportunity to upgrade to the 3-4 structure. Black really needs to activate the spares on the 23 and 3/1 allows him to do that with ones and twos.

If you enjoy meeting and interviewing backgammon players then do more of that, if you enjoy playing the bot or other great players do more of that. Seeing what gets the most views is one thing, but you also have to enjoy it. Best of luck.
