By all the comments, it seems you've helped a lot of people, like me, learn a great game. Thank you for making backgammon accessible to the masses.

@rfrnet Thanks very much for the positive comments. I'm really pleased that the videos have been beneficial. If I have made backgammon in any way more accessible, then I would truly feel I had done something worthwhile. Cheers :)

what happened to your pinky by the 2nd joint? looks like it got squished in a vice or something. or maybe slammed in a car door?

@journeytosilius Well, it's a fascinating tale actually. Here's what happened... Absolutely nothing, sorry :) Must be an optical illusion or a shadow or something.

Awesome videos. This is what I was looking for, explanation to the details. I have never played the game before ever and now i am all setup to go. It would be also good if you could share do and don't in the game. Best opening moves, tips and tricks. Thanks. Really great series to watch and learn.

@svenneri Thanks,. Of course when these were first uploaded, there was a bit of a gap between most of the parts (some might say too much of a gap!), but I wouldn't stipulate the best way to watch them - some folks prefer them piecemeal, whilst others watch the whole lot in one go. Whatever suits the viewer is fine by me. :)
