Free Lesson ??

In Response To: Free Lesson ?? (Donby)

I have many ideas now on how to continue with these free lessons thanks to everyone's feedback. I will eventually do a dmp session, a gammon go session, gammon save session, special scores just played from the opening position, nackgammon, super nackgammon, doubles, etc... Doing this will cover more complicated positions and I won't need to do something like double slot with an opening 21.

I like the boring games to an extent because I feel like everyone still can learn a lot from these. I've always said knowing the basics is how you master something and the basics in backgammon are largely ignored.

However, there is something to knowing how to play after an opening 21&. There is a player in Vegas who like to get an opening 21 *spot* specifically played as you mention it. I have therefore studied the replies and played games in the past that stem from this opening to become more familiar with it. A good exercise for anyone who has a few minutes to kill is just to run through all the rolls imagining your opponent played an opening 21& and check them against XGR+. I imagine few will get them all correct and maybe even make a gross error along the way.
