   Well, that is very poor guesswork. I’ve yet to be fired even once and certainly never been fired by Julian Wilson. I just used Google. Good productive time at Apple was it? Ha.

   Mr. Wilson and his explanation seem quite reasonable & helpful to me. I used to play in the 70’s, but haven’t in many years and I need to brush-up on my skills. There seems to be a technical audio difficulty with this group of presentations. I use earphones to make it clearer. Thanks for the help Julian

   @arthurplank80
   could the fact that you were fired for spending your entire day drinking and chain smoking (by Julian Wilson) have influenced your opinion? what was your name again: ZAK, or ZIT or narumpf, or mobbitcrap. You almost had a many names as faces.

   dear all.
   These ‘mini tutorials’ were produced by Matchroom TV for Partygammon to promote a $1m Backgammon Tournament in the Bahamas . 5 TV programs were produced and syndicated around the world. I was one of the players in the event, but also helped in the TV Production and alongside Bill Robertie and Kent Goulding provided live commentary at the event. It was a huge privilege to be involved in the event and see so many of the world’s best players in one room.

    I will never play this game again.

    I don’t want to be anything like the presenter on this video clip.

    How come this video clip is still here?

    I used to enjoy backgammon, but while people like this are used to promote it I will have no part of it!

    Please do the game a favour. Get rid of this video. Better still, get rid of the w#*@er!

    From the start of “Hello … my name is Julian Wilson”, his presentation just gets progressively less bearable.

    It is HORRIBLE!

    Just plain awful!

    This guy may know the fundamentals, but his way of explaining it leaves a heck of a lot to be desired!

    How can something sooooo enjoyable be made to sound sooooo awful. Probably something to do with the self-opinionated speaker!

    Hope the video gets delete witout delay - Almost offensive!
