Subject: Counting squares remaining in BG
Fencer, please would you tell us how you calculate remaining squares. For example, in game 24026 (tonyh v MadMonkey), after move 14 pass, I reckon that Black's total = 105. Your total is 130.

tonyh: It is possible that I don't count it correctly because I don't know the calculation method. Could you explain it to me please?

Well, what I do is count the number of dice pips, needed to bear off a stone. So black has three stones on 3; therefore, a count of 9. Every stone on the bar I count as 25; and that's basically it. Would welcome other BG players to comment.

I think that I use the same rules. I'll check it out.

The problem is always when there is a man on the bar - he seems to be counted twice giving a count 25 too high.

I think you are correct, Mike UK. If there is no man on the bar, the count appears to be correct.
