>start with backgammon, then advance to chess
Seems about right
>do everything right >lose >do everything wrong >win
Not even close to chess. Keep coping
Chess is shit because it is pure abstract strategy where the most autistic fricker at the table wins every time. Backgammon is superior because a complete newbie can beat a veteran because RNG was on their side making it more enjoyable experience. Chess games have predetermined outcome the overwhelming majority of the time.
Chess is for pompous homosexuals who wants to feel intellectually superior to other pompous homosexuals. Objectively it isn't a good abstract strategy game with Stratego blowing it out of the water.
>Chess is for pompous homosexuals who wants to feel intellectually superior to other pompous homosexuals.
This is not the sentiment within the chess community. Many normies think this and if I say I play chess they will think "oh ur some kind of intellectual huh huh" but that is so far outside of what me or any other chess player thinks.

They just enjoy the board game anon... maybe the guy that just plays every once in a while is pompous and full of himself but actual chess players aren't pompous at all.

Lmao. He means we don't think we're smarter than you because we play chess. Except on this board, but that's because you're tabletop gamers and everyone in the world is smarter than you.
apples and oranges.
chess is for autists, backgammon is for sexy obachans.
I like backgammon for Ganker
My wife printed a backgammon board on a bandanna so we can play it when we go camping and hiking. Much easier to carrier a couple of dice and find some appropriately coloured pebbles on the ground than bring along a whole bundle of chess pieces.

You are literally making a case why chess is superior to backgammon with this post.
Where are you homosexuals whenever I look for money game opponents?
>backgammon shark can't find fish
I'll play chess for money, but not backgammon. I don't scare them off by not playing for free and I talk an incredible amount of shit. For some reason they usually want to toss 20 bucks down instead of something reasonable like 5 bucks. I'm a magic player too so I know how much you can bash someone in the head with skill even in a random game, and that is why I will not play you in backgammon.
I grew up around Backgammon. My father was a local champion and very good Ante Player. I think the most he made one time was a fat 50$ on a single win in the late 80s in Atlantic Canada economy.
Do you play by Irving Finkle's reconstructed rules or by the rules they made up for the board game release in the 70s? (Pic related is the set that I own, so I've tried both, and honestly, they're both fun. Backgammon and acey deucey are still better, tho.)

Is there some place where you can download and analyze played games besides backgammon galaxy?
I don't like their business model and prizes. Also their GUI sucks ass.
Backgammon is evolving into a dull computer imitation game >muh PR
Not to mention how you guys have been turned dependent (enslaved?) to XG2 and that now the author ends the maintenance of the product but keeps the rights, everyone freaks out (there is still gnubg but it is unpopular and objectively less performant). If only BG players had the intelligence to go full free software.
Cool game, still interesting to explore but some of the fun has been taken out by computerization and it is still less deep than chess sorry.
What's the best place to play backgammon online?
not sure if it's the best but I just played with some random guy on here, don't even have to register

Will check it out later.
Hey, an actual traditional game on /tg/.WHo would have guessed
https://cardgames.io/ is my website of choice
Thanks anon.

I don't even know the rules of backgammon and I can tell without a doubt that chess is superior

don't play chess much myself so I don't have skin in the game when I say you come across as a deeply insecure autistic moron

cute.
This is not true, an experienced backgammon player will wipe the floor with someone new, especially if the betting die is being used.
