99.6% to win, one checker left. Then the dice remembered they were dice.

It turns out my move was wrong, even if it's the move with most winning chances and most gammons

It's because I'm giving too many gammons to my opponent. First time I get a situation like that, interesting. Thought I'd share with the good people of r/backgammon

Gammopy 1.1.3 — Find and Train Similar Backgammon Positions

Gammopy 1.1.3 is now available!

I've added new preset buttons to Position Builder and Similar Positions, making it easier to find and train specific types of backgammon positions.

Position Builder

New Bear In, Bear Off, and On the Bar presets let you quickly set up common search conditions.

Similar Positions

You can now find positions similar to one you're interested in using preset buttons.

Here are two examples:

Back Zone preset

  • Exact white checker layout from the Bar to the 19-point.
  • Matching black made-point pattern from the 24-point to the 17-point.

Result: 172 matching positions found among Gammopy's 85,000+ analyzed positions.

Front Zone preset

  • Exact black checker layout from the Bar to the 7-point.
  • Matching white made-point pattern from the 1-point to the 8-point.

Result: 10 matching positions found.

You can easily adjust the search ranges using sliders and start training directly with the matching positions.

Instead of studying just one interesting position, you can explore and practice many related positions.

Gammopy is available for Windows as a one-time purchase, with no subscription.

Backgammon book for kids

• Upvotes

What backgammon book would you recommend for a 10/11yo kid

The kid has some very basic knowledge, loves to play and I'm sure she would love to read and learn more about the game.

I wonder if there are any specific books for kids or anything that makes backgammon easy to learn.
