XG Backgammon


It's my Birthday...woo Hoo.

Mrs Lansongammon didn't know what to get me so I helpfully steered her towards a download from those nice people at Extremegammon.

I have been wanting to play around with XG for a while now and after downloading the demo 14 day version I was hooked.
Luckily one of the benefits of being a premium member of the UKBGF is that I get a discount off of the full price.
So with my newly acquired licence code I fired up XG again. Entered the code and within a matter of seconds I was up and running.

To be honest even now, a week later I am still scratching my head over many of the features.
You see I am one of these people who

A: Hates reading help files.
B: If I do read a help file I have to print it to read.

Printing is out of the question as I would need a small loan to pay for the many many pages. So I will have to knuckle down and read online.


Don't get me wrong, I am loving the XG experience so far it's just that I want to get the maximum benefit from the programme and to do this I need to study the manual.

So get on with it I hear you cry...

I am also looking forward to being able to study other peoples recorded match play as well entering my own positions to analyse.. I will post further experiences of XG here, good or bad as they happen.

Club meetings.
You will be pleased to know that normal service has been resumed after our enforced May break. See the meetings page for upcoming dates.
