FIBS Board backgammon forum

i read all discussion of this topic and this topic clear my all issues Thank you.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question, but if it's your turn to roll the dice and you try making your moves with X and you can't seem to move, then I would guess you are the O.

Hi ,

  I am trying to write a fibs client ,
  I saw the protocol description and i think it is excellent (CLIP etc..).

  however, i noticed that when i play a game (right now against bots) sometimes i am represented as the X player (-1) and other times i am represented as a 0 player (1) in the board state format.

  my question is:

   When i play how do i know if i am represented as X or as 0 ?


   

See attachment.  Completed two matches against a player but was unable to vouch. 

Why sometimes the chat does not work. When I want to chat with my opponent and the chat window is not responding.
When the payers chats with me, I cannot respond.
Any way to solve it?
Thank you
Gaucho

We're looking for a good client with source code, that we can improve to add desirable features.
Suggestions? Anyone feel like joining in?

Cheers

So sorry to hear.  RIP Falafel. 

Thanks for letting us know.

Legendary backgammon player Michel Natanzon (known as "Falafel") has past away yesterday.
He was 51 years old and died from brain cancer.
Falafel was world best backgammon player twice, at 2007 and 2011.
