look what happens with the 5-6 roll very closely at 9.13

I've played and watched both at a reasonable level, including winning a few minor tournaments, and though the greatness of chess is unbeatable, in a some senses BG is more fun. That doesn't mean it's "better": just a great game in a different way. It's more lively, and any good player has a chance against even the best opponent. If you don't play BG at a serious level, you won't enjoy it's complexity and "fun" :)

@kirinlager49 any cheating that might go on is FA compaired to the BS !"rolls" we get in the net

[kirinlager49]

@kumquat28 there seems to be a lot of cheating in pro BG

[velocityeleven]

@MadelineBee1 I noticed that too

@MadelineBee1 doh. the die didnt land on the checkers. it landed in the gap between them. look carefully. sheesh.

[MadelineBee1]

@thegoonist - just watch again - the "rol" is 44 and there is a hasty play as one dice lands on the  checkers and both players dont seem to notice - and the commmtaors neither, whch is surprisng. - rolls like 6+3 -6+4 -6+5 - and 66 and even 6+2 Gagua would have to break a defense point - all in all 9 rolls.... - I therefore would have asked the opponent to reroll and play correctly.

@StefanMarkBee 6:59 wasnt illegal

Hey guys just watch and rate my videos, also read the info video too there i explained everything about real backgammon games, thanks in advance ! You will not regret your time.

[caymancandlewood]

What is the rule when the guy moves illegally? Does the other player have to discover it before moving? Seems kind of bullshit. Almost a backgammon!

[mcdowellmari]

confusing? Lol, its way more simple than chess or something. Besides, in chess, you can get better and better and study it until you explode, this game....eh...theres more luck involved. They are both fun, good gaems though.
