From match records
to meaningful reflection.
Record match information and checker-error severity. Review performance statistics and charts, then assign category ratings to receive authored qualitative feedback and development recommendations.
The integrated Mini MOT™ brings your reflections together with three priority areas for improvement.
Your judgement, supported by data.
Statistics are calculated from the information you enter. Numerical category ratings are manually assigned; they select the corresponding authored assessment scripts.
The workbook does not independently analyse checker moves or replace a backgammon analysis engine. Sample size informs confidence in an assessment.

BEYOND THE BOARD — PROFESSIONAL BACKGAMMON CHECKER TRACKER FINAL NARRATION TRANSCRIPT
British English voice: Alistaire — Authoritative & Articulate (HeyGen). Recorded duration: 119.968 seconds. Natural playback retained; no time stretching.
It’s time to bring your backgammon study into focus. Introducing the Beyond the Board Professional Backgammon Checker Tracker.
Designed by Connor Dickinson, England International and BMAB Master, it records up to two hundred matches, building a detailed picture of your checker play.
Start in Match Register with your opponent, result and performance rating. Use Quick Entry to tally errors across fourteen categories, or add individual errors in the Detailed Error Collector. Game and move references help you revisit specific positions. The tracker reconciles these entries without adding the same errors twice.
The Dashboard shows category totals and each category’s share of your recorded errors. In this demonstration, holding games account for seventeen point four percent, late-game contact fifteen point seven, and blitz twelve point three. Your percentages update from your own entries. These are shares of recorded errors, not error rates across every decision you played.
Not all errors are equal. The paired charts separate yellow technical errors, orange mistakes and red blunders. Compare their severity within each category, while Graphical Analysis shows overall severity percentages and available performance trends.
The Mini MOT adds qualitative coaching insight. Enter an assigned category rating from one to ten, and the workbook retrieves its exact assessment from a library of one hundred and forty scripts. Supporting evidence can be reviewed separately. Ratings remain provisional: the workbook does not independently analyse backgammon positions. The development roadmap highlights three recorded priorities, with practical advice on what to investigate and practise next.
Match Summary, My Performance Insights and the compact Mini MOT Report help you review your progress. The Category Key explains the colour system, and Instructions guide your next entries. Together, they provide a reusable framework for structured study.
Beyond the Board. Don’t just record your mistakes. Understand them. Improve your game.
