A few years ago I was in a game of backgammon and I was up about 50Pip and all my pieces were in my home about to bear off, my opponent was behind too far. He ended up rolling 7 straight doubles to win. It seemed suspicious to me.. Have there been other players who have experienced this? All the doubles were 66 55 or 44
if i resign during a game of probackgammom while the score is 1-0 in a 5pt mathc and the doubling cube is at 2. essentially gving me a 3-0 deficit? or does it give me the whole 5-0 loss?
could anyone explain cloning backgammon for me? the rules are a bit confusing. they way it seems to be worded i could feesably end up with an infinite amount of pieces to bear of my bar. if i keep catpturing my enemys pieces i have to bear off more and more pieces.
this seems flawed. How can you force a person to either up the stakes or lose..? I'm assuming that this is not an official rule. it would be like being one move away from chekcmate and saying i want to double the match.
I am unfamiliar with how the doubling cube works. i was in game with a person and i was up 4-0 and during the beginning of the 5th game my opp send a message requesting to double the gmae. i had two options to either accept the double or to resign the game.. can you force a person to resign while using the doubling cube?
ok i really never got into backgammon. but i never undertood the cube? what is its purpose and how does it work. ive read many things in the rules but nothign really explains it. If i read it correctly you must accept a roll or you lose the game. but then what purpose do pieces on the board mean? if im down 120 pips to 1, i can say Double and win? that makes no sense. little help would be great thanks.
