Thema: Re:

pgt: How about manually calculating the winners of each round and start an invitational tournament with just those players, that is if those 2 players don't figure in to it. Then ask fencer to delete the current tournament when the round finally finishes

Thema: Re: Doubling cube.

Nothingness: the short answer is no. they can however force you to choose between resigning or doubling the value of that game, it's your choice but you do have to choose.
At the bottom of the page of this link http://brainking.com/en/GameRules?tp=23 is a more detailed explination

Duh! I feel stupid, I was looking at my dice, she did indeed roll a 5-2

27. Juni 2009, 15:47:56

Thema: Re: Only one move?

grenv: I've thought of that so I did a hard refresh a couple of different times and am still showing 5-1

27. Juni 2009, 14:42:17

Thema: Re: Only one move?

Bwild: I don't think that is it because she could have moved from 5 to 6 with her second move

27. Juni 2009, 04:53:08

Thema: Only one move?

Maybe I am getting old and senile but it looks like white only had to move one checker on her last move
Anti Backgammon (TheAlchemist vs. Vikings) when it was possible to move both

Thema: Re: Why no extra points?

Anjil: no bug, your opponent got all of his pieces out of your home so you did not score a backgammon, but he did not get any pieces off so the score is a gammon which is worth 2 points

is anyone needing another player for the up coming hyper team tournament?

20. Dezember 2008, 14:36:38

I count that you have bore off 11 and have 4 left to bear off

tonyh: a match is a match, no matter how many games or points it takes to win it, so the answer is none

Thema: Re: Back to Backgammon Discussion

coan.net: o.k. then, back to my question, has anyone ever had a complete game without any doubles?

4. Oktober 2007, 02:30:58

anyone ever played an entire game without so much as one set of doubles rolled?

Andersp: well then it's obvious,.... you accepted!

23. August 2007, 00:50:00

Thema: Re: Cheat?

Andersp: maybe he felt cheated because of the way that stairs games can start without accepting the challenge before the timer starts since he timed out on the first one. just a thought

Czuch Czuckers: simple, I'm gonna come back and whoop your tanned side just like last time we played

Thema: Re:

jryden: actually once you join stairs, the games keep popping up,never ending, I can never knock down my game total thus leaving less time to join new tourneys

7. Januar 2007, 06:54:19

Thema: Re:

jryden: there used to be a lot more of these tourneys, I've noticed a decline in them since the introduction of stairs

Thema: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

grenv: no more silly than any other anti-game, just responding

27. April 2006, 22:17:31

Thema: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

joshi tm: not all games go that way, but I would guess that I win or loose 98% of games with a backgammon, and I have completed all 5 point matches in 1 or 2 games

27. April 2006, 12:57:44

Thema: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

joshi tm: since you are trying to lose, it's easy to keep a couple of men back and get backgammoned, so most likely a game that has been doubled will be worth 6 points

27. April 2006, 12:55:12

Thema: Re: Anti Back + Doubling Cube?

SafariGal: thats why I double extremely early on

11. März 2006, 05:33:28

Thema: Re: Anti-backgammon

Marfitalu: it is a bug, it will only give you the 6 points if the opponent resigns

Pedro Martínez: I'd agree, those nic's are obvious and the play sure isn't steller,

Hrqls: don't know, looks similar enough to my game

4. Dezember 2005, 23:43:13

Thema: Re: anti-backgammon

Pedro Martínez: as I said earlier, I may have had all the checkers out of the 1st quadrant at one time or another and had them set back, I have had that happen in hyper-backgammon and only received 2 points also

4. Dezember 2005, 23:23:40

Thema: Re: anti-backgammon

Pedro Martínez: my bad, it looks like they were all resignations, but here is a link to where I received 4 points but may have been eligible to receive 6 http://brainking.com/en/ArchivedGame?g=1177229

4. Dezember 2005, 23:16:53

I'll look

4. Dezember 2005, 22:58:51

Thema: Re: anti-backgammon

Pedro Martínez: actually I have gotten many gammons with a double and received 4 points, I have also gotten backgammons with a double but also received 4 points, I just assumed that I had gotten the checkers out and had them sent back

skipinnz: when the score is 4:0 in a 5 point match, no one can double, its called a crawford round

playBunny: made sense to me

26. Oktober 2005, 02:54:27

Thema: Re: Auto-what?

playBunny: what part don't you understand? the part about using a random roll generator or using your left hand on your mouse?

26. Oktober 2005, 02:37:51

Thema: Re: Im confused too :)

ajtgirl: since most people use their right hand on their mouse, try using your left hand the next time you are in that situation then you will have your odds back
