Excellent vid, thank you Justin! The last position is interesting. The blitzing play would be an overplay if white had his 5 point made instead of a blot. The blot on the 5 point definitely incentivizes continuing the blitz. In fact, any additional home board points great diminishes the blitz value. If white had no blots in his home board but not points either, I'd say it's a tossup, but I didn't run it through XG, so I'm not entirely sure.

Hello. I've been a fan of Backgammon for several years now. I watch your videos and many others, trying to understand the plays and why they make them. I have some books that I've reread multiple times and I also study the explanations given by professionals on their personal websites. However, I feel like I'm stuck. It's like attending math classes with a teacher who keeps explaining theories and theorems, and I just watch, listen, and try to understand, but when it's time for me to apply what I've learned, I find it impossible. Can you give me some advice on how to study Backgammon to improve my game? Thank you very much.

Hi Justin, I wonder what you think about the illegal play of Frank Frigo (vs Ofir) during the last championship.

I am shocked that on the last play of 5/4* 4/2* was the correct play. I would have played 24/23 11/9 without a doubt in my mind that it was the correct play --- and made a massive blunder.

I'm always missing plays like this in my games so this is very helpful, thanks! In the final position, how much of a role does the opponent's blot in their home board play in deciding to break the 5 point? Would we still make the same blitzing play if they didn't have that extra blot?

I do think the blot is a big deal. It is an extraordinary position.
