Lecture in Merit Open 2013 (Cyprus).
Video can be found here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sv5opV2r_Y
I talked about two main theme.
1, Nroll vs Nroll
2, Two men bear off
I explained important theories and ideas in Non-contact positions (bear-in, bear-off, race, gammon save, etc.). All Backgammon ends in non-contact so it is extremely helpful to understand them once and for all.
Three point anchor game is the game that paid a least attention although it happens very often. I spotlight the cube action and found a couple of reference positions.

6. 4 OFF
4 off is a Huge pass provided
spares distributed normally.
Having no spare on 6p and 5p is
Really bad.
Obviously 3 off or less is even
bigger pass.
16. WHEN IS DOUBLE – TAKE?
When Yellow has N-4
checkers off, it is a Double and
Take.
*N = number of checkers Black bear off
**It applies from 0 off to 9 off.
10 or more you should use N-5.
17. EXAMPLE 1 (6 OFF)
BLACK HAS 6 OFF, SO 6 - 4 = 2. YELLOW HAS 2 OFF !
18. EXAMPLE 2 (7 OFF)
BLACK HAS 7 OFF, SO 7-4=3. YELLOW HAS 3 OFF.
19. 6 OFF
6 off is a big no double until
you have two men off.
N-4 is an Double-Take.
(it applies 0 off to 9 off)
20. PROBLEM 7 (1P IS OPEN, 7 OFF)
YELLOW ON ROLL. CUBE ACTION?
21. ANSWER 7 REDOUBLE – CLOSE TAKE
1P OPEN IS REGARDED AS 0.5 LESS MEN OFF
22. PROBLEM 8 (5P IS OPEN, 7 OFF)
YELLOW ON ROLL. CUBE ACTION?
23. ANSWER 8 NO REDOUBLE – TAKE
5P OPEN IS REGARDED AS 0.5 LESS MEN OFF
