Some peoples comments aren't showing up it seems. Seems like YouTube is having a glitch with this video. 🤔

The video quality continues to improve with every video! Amazing job! Looking forward to the next one.

Recently found your channel and instantly subscribed. Your videos are so well done! I randomly started playing backgammon about 2 weeks ago, so looking forward to progressing as your game & channel progress as well!

I’m enjoying your videos! I think I watched them all! I love that you love backgammon as much as I do and looking for ways to improve just like myself. I also love your orange board. It looks so cool and so cheerful. It makes me happy and cheers me up just watching you play on it. I think bright and happy colored boards are the way to go! I want to get a bright, happy, and fun board like yours.

Awesome stuff Jason. I love your approach in these videos. So digestible. XG is so powerful. It's even better when you have a pro like Nick or John O'Hagan etc...to explain why XG calculated a particular move as best. That's what separates the pros from the amateurs.

As an " on and off " again Backgammon player, I get bit by " the backgammon bug " and play the CRAP out of it, then I get burned out and tread off to other things ( then coming back again in due time ). Couple of questions ( from one backgammon player to another )
1. How to not get burned out?
2. Can " Anyone " sign up to Backgammon Tournaments?
3. What Backgammon books would you recommend to read?
4. ( Not a Question btw ) I'm glad there is more backgammon content on YouTube for information and LOVE OF THE GAME! Thank You!

I like your videos! You’re running XG on a Mac, right? How did you do it?

5:29 hmm what exactly is wrong with this move? It leaves a window there, but is that really worse than the possibility of being hit in this case?

Hello, thanks for the tutorial video, please introduce me to a backgammon analysis software for Android phone.

The app is no longer available. What happened to it?

I just posted two supportive and harmless comments, and both disappeared instantly. did you delete them, or was it the algo?

Hey, good afternoon.
I have the mobile version, but it stopped updating a long time ago, and it only runs on older versions of android.
I bought the PC version now, but I would really like to continue using the mobile and it's not working.
I looked again in the PlayStore and did not find it.
But it is a really top program.
Thanks.

[cjfetters]

It isn't available in Google Play

Ok so dumb question for those who understand XG - can it still be downloaded on a windows computer? An iPad?

Are android devices the only devices it can't be used on anymore?

[Minithorzeus]

I found the desktop nice, however lost interest when it would consistently score me as UNLUCKY and 90% of the time when i took the computers suggestion, it would thing take my checker the next move. It felt fixed for sure

[curty]

I have the Desk top and find it is hard to understand how to use the data. Also your subscription is per device.

I cant Wait until you go to a major tournament.

Nice video, I'm almost ready to invest in XG. However, I can't help but notice your illegal move in the intro.
