Continuing to host in Monaco has hurt the game. I’d rather the location alternate between Europe and the US, and for the European location to be somewhere more affordable.

@BackgammonGalaxy2 күн бұрын
If you can reach a rating on Backgammon Galaxy that corresponds to grandmaster level, then yes, you're a grandmaster.

I can see what your doing as it helps your strategy but I’m not good at maths and I think I would get moulded up , you seem to have a quick mind so you deserve to be a champion but for me doing the dice is confusing, perhaps later when I’ve played a bit😊

This is such a difficult ruling to make. It's very harsh, but the intent by Neculai is debatable. It's possible he did it without thinking. It's possible everyone was confused and this was an accident - in fact, likely. The fact none of the other 4 people did or said anything makes me feel the penalty was too harsh. To take his entire prize moneys is outrageous.

At 77, Watching the matches, the commentary made no sence to me, as I played durung the early 80s. Didnt think I'd be able to absorb all the other stuff. But this morning I decided to learn something. And I did! A lot. That pip count always confused me.

What has been the problem with backgammon galaxy. The server seems to be constantly going offline. Yet a users clock continues to run meaning constant losses on time. Admittedly I'm not paying to use the site, but if I was I'd say there was a case to answer in a court of law. It is nothing more than trickery not only in this regard but several others such as the user being unable to set stake parameters. The analysis tool is great but these frustrations need to be addressed by Marc Olsen. Or someone will sue him.

I am having a high entry price invitational tournament at my ranch Nov 2024. Some of the best players in the world are coming including Joe Russell, Neil Kassarov, John O’Hagan and Steve Sax. We will have a Hack gammon side event tournament and record the match on KZread to be watched later by anyone who is curious. I’ve ordered the cards.

@sjsphotog19 күн бұрын
Cool concept. Do you only get 3 cards per each game? For the freedom card when you move your opponents checkers does that mean by using the toll on the dice or just moving randomly without any dice requirement? Hope some of the more difficult cards have more examples or help to decipher what they mean.
@BackgammonGalaxy19 күн бұрын
The Freedom card does not allow you to move your opponent's checkers. The Sabotage card does. You play a card and then you roll. So as for the Sabotage card, you play it and then you roll, and then do what the card allows you to do. So yes, with this hack you use your dice roll to move your opponent's checkers. Watch this video to get a better feel for the flow of Hackgammon: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJZpprapmNbYm7A.html
