I can't believe you defaced that lovely set with permanent marker. Sticky notes would have been a better option. The perfectionist in me is having a meltdown.

What is the object of the game?
-
I used to play this on my phone!

way too freaking long to teach backgammon unless you assume the people you are teaching are deaf dumb and blind.

Great job. Concise. To the point. Easily understood. I myself have been playing for years and understand the game well. I just wanted to let you know i liked your videos. Great job.

+thenewboston Thanks for taking the time to make simple tutorials for backgammon. I've watched several of them now.
I'll return the favor — a piece of feedback:
If your goal is to make clear tutorials (backgammon, programming, etc), and you do a lot of them, you should try to eliminate repetitive phrases — they do not add anything useful to the tutorial and are quite distracting.Your favorite repetitive phrase is "go ahead and". You say it in nearly every sentence, "I'm going to go ahead and move …" or "Go ahead and roll". Not one "go ahead" is necessary to your meaning and it degrades from your overall goal. Those sentences should instead begin with "I'll move" and "Roll".
On one hand, it is just a harmless figure of speech … if used occasionally. On the other hand, watch some of your own tutorials and count the number of times that you do this. I think you'll be surprised and likely get my point.
Again, thanks for the tutorials and good luck making more.

Other tutorials were "horrible" and "horrendous". You mean like children starving, bone cancer, etc.?

Is there an official side for the home board for the light and dark pieces (and likewise an official direction of play)? For example, in this video, you show dark's home board to be the lower right quadrant (from the perspective of dark), while the light's home board is in the lower left (from the perspective of the light). On other tutorials, I see it set up oppositely (dark's home board being lower left, and light's home board being lower right–both from their respective perspectives). Thanks in advance.
