Backgammon Analyzing

Reviewing and Analyzing Matches

How do I review a saved match?

You may review a match saved in GamesGrid (.cbg) format in the GamesGrid application. Select File/Open from the main menus, and browse to the file you want to open. Saved matches are normally located in the SaveGame folder of your GamesGrid directory (although you may save them anywhere).

Select a file by name and Open it. You may navigate through the moves using the VCR-style controls or using the arrow keys. Select File/Close from the main menus to close the match.

You may also open files saved in GamesGrid (.cbg) format by navigating to the saved file and double-clicking on the file, or by right-clicking on it and selecting Open. The file will open in a GamesGrid window (even if you are offline).

Select File/Open from the main menus. Saved matches are normally located in the SaveGame folder of your backgammon GamesGrid installation folder (although you may save them anywhere). For review in the GamesGrid client, you may open any match that is saved in GamesGrid (.cbg) format. (You may import .txt files into GnuBG or Jellyfish or Snowie for analysis; you may import .sgg files into Snowie for analysis.) Select a file by name and Open it. You may navigate through the moves using the VCR-style controls or using the arrow keys. Select File/Close from the main menus to leave the match.

How do I save my matches for analysis by GnuBG, Jellyfish, or Snowie?

Matches saved in standard (.txt) format may be imported into GnuBG, Jellyfish, Snowie, and other analysis applications. Matches saved in Snowie (.sgg) format may be imported only into Snowie.

Note that a match saved in Snowie (.sgg) format cannot be converted into other formats. If you think that you might want multiple file-formats, save the match initially in GamesGrid format, which may then be converted into the other supported formats.
