Backgammon Studio 2.3!

[PillowFighter]

Hi guys!

Happy new year!

I just shrink wrapped the latest version of Backgammon Studio which contains some nice improvements:

• Several new challenges (training tracks if you like):
  
  
  
  • Fearless! Leave a blot for direct shot? Looks risky but perhaps now is the time to do so?
  • Double Trouble! You just rolled a double! Twice as many chances to get it wrong!
  • Cubed! The cube just came sailing across the board! Be brave or admit defeat?
  • 3rd roll checker! Too early to make a big mistake?
  • Breakup! Breaking up is hard to do! Now you have to break up your prime or do you?
• Several new action tags:
  
  
  
  • Pick and pass or not - Classical problem of hitting in your home board and either leave a blot or move it to safety.
  • Bury a checker or not - Very painful to put a checker out of play but perhaps you have to?
  • Slot the ace or not - Slotting the ace can sometimes have a tactical advantage.
  • Hit on the ace or not - Hitting on the ace can sometimes be a useful tempo hit.
  • Slot the front of opponent prime or not - Going for a great anchor or perpare for a great escape!
• New search now also support specifying the dices.
• Bookmark headers for easier folder navigation.
• Match info dialog for devices where all info can't be displayed properly at once.
• Old inspecting of challenges (in your private database) has been retired and integrated with the new challenge select section.
• Position type masters now require more positions to qualify.
• In your private training ground you can limit the errors that are used by date to only train on your latest errors.
• Scorecard on the backgammon board to easier spot the current score which can be key to many problems.
• Sort by date in position forum.
• More help buttons in the interface for direct access to useful help information.
  
  
  
  • In position forum.
  • In matches list.
  • In importing matches.
  • Eventually all sections should have a help dialog.
• Deleting the last match for a player will allow you to delete the player also to reduce the number of players in match player dropdowns.
• Merging and renaming tournaments has been integrated into the matches list.
• View performance progress per month in your private database.
• Specify a match threshold to qualify for the Average PR overview as comparing average PR for players with only a couple of matches with others with many matches is perhaps not so useful.

Give it a try!
