Hi everybody,
If you have plenty of time to spare (supposedly there's a certain virus that gives us all kinds of free time that we formerly spent partying and such) and want to improve your backgammon, then have a look at the UBC (ultimate backgammon championship) videos on youtube.
These videos are well-produced, feature great commentary by backgammon grandmasters + analysis by XG; the games are very dramatic at times, and best of all: this is a "backgammon galaxy" style format: Players play several matches to 7 points, and get a point for winning a match, and a point for having played with the lower PR. This way the players spend much time thinking about the best move, and the grandmasters commenting spend this time discussing why this or that move is good or bad. GREAT learning.
Here's the really fun match of Mochy vs. Sander Lyloff
And day 1 of the 2020 tournament (not that spectacular matches but much to learn from)
