Here you find bits and pieces that don’t fit anywhere else.

• The mighty ”Tutortorial”
  This is a tutorial on how to work with the Tutor feature that many strong backgammon apps offer. It’s called ”Tutor” but what it does is throwing raw figures like equities, gammon probabilities at you. If you’re not a backgammon veteran you might have no clue how these tutors can help you understand why your blunder was a blunder. Hopefully my tutortorial helps in this situation.
• Which backgame is worth playing?
  In this article I’m analyzing the different backgames in order to find out whether you should prefer e.g. a 43 backgame to an e.g. 41 backgame (hint: you should).
  This can help you in situations where e.g. you have an advanced anchor on the 4 point, things are not going well, and you can stay behind with a second anchor on the ace point or try to bring it forward to the 3 point. Which you definitely should do.
