Backgammon Pip Trainer

Backgammon Pip Trainer turns pip counting into a daily habit, tells you whether your lead is big enough to double, and now analyzes positions from your own games: snap a photo of the board and get GNU Backgammon's answer. ANALYZE YOUR OWN POSITIONS • Read the board from a photo: checkers, dice, who's on roll and the cube are filled in for you • Or set up any position by tapping points, or paste a GNU Position ID, Match ID or XGID • Check the board, fix anything with one tap (undo, flip bear-off side, back to the photo's reading) • GNU Backgammon analysis: best cube action with win and gammon chances, and the best moves for your roll • Tap a move to see it on the board with arrows, or turn your phone for a big board • Rollouts: play the position out over a thousand games for a stronger answer, with a notification when it's done • Match play: enter the score, cube and Crawford and the analysis uses them • Saved in My Positions with your photo and notes; search and filter them • Share a position with a 6-letter code, or move them all to a new phone START AT YOUR LEVEL • Beginner mode: start with 5 checkers each near home, then spread out and add checkers until you're counting a full 15 • Level up automatically after a streak of fast, correct answers, or pick your own level • Realistic race, bear-off and full-game positions when you're ready PRACTICE • Full pip count (both sides) or Pip Differential (just who leads and by how much) • Every position starts covered: tap Start when you're ready and the clock runs • The board hides while you type your answer, so no counting on a stopped clock • Instant feedback: correct counts, how far off you were, who leads and by what % LEARN THE SHORTCUTS • Counting hints ring the chunks strong players use: home rows, runs and stacks • Cluster counting: fold checkers onto a reference point (2 on the 4 + 2 on the 6 = 4 on the 5) • Make tens: pair checkers that add to a round number • Known shapes: drill the home boards that come up again and again MASTER THE CUBE • The Timmes Race Rule: cube advice for every race, tested on 51,502 rolled-out positions from real games, with 23% fewer cube errors than the Isight count • Cube quiz: decide double, take or pass before you see the answer, and track your score • See every sum behind the verdict • Effective pip count for bear-offs, with the exact value (optional) TRACK YOUR SPEED • Average time, last 10, best time, perfect rate and streaks, per position type COMPETE • Daily Challenge: the same five race positions for everyone, with a worldwide leaderboard • Challenge a friend: create a test, share the 6-letter code and see who counts fastest • Scores are timed on our server, so leaderboards stay fair 17 BOARDS • Real players' and club boards including Social Point Backgammon Club, Sunny South Florida, and the Del Mar Collection • Team colors, cork, wood, midnight and a Valentine's board • Photo positions can be shown in the colors of the board in your photo • Light and dark mode, sized for iPhone and iPad MORE • Daily practice reminder • 12 languages • No account, no ads FREE AND PRO All training, the cube quiz and the challenges are free.
