A position that is poorly connected, in which a player's army is divided into two or more groups with large gaps between them. Once all your pieces have made it around the board, you may start removing pieces (also known as "bearing off"). A piece can bear off if: A tournament format in which a competitor continues playing until he has lost twice. Compare: Single Elimination.

For example, a player who owns a 2-cube when he is two points (4) away from winning the match will never double because he can win the match with the cube at its current level. If after starting to bear off, a player's piece is captured, that piece must re-enter at the other side of the board and bearing off cannot re-start until all pieces are once again residing in the inner table.

A succession of events, each of which depends on the preceding event. The probability of the entire parlay is equal to the product of the probabilities of the individual events.Proposed by Danny Kleinman.] A guideline for cube handling in pure race positions. Compute K = (D+4)*(D+4) / (S-4), where D is the player's pip count minus the opponent's count, and S is the sum of the pip counts. Kleinman says a player should make an initial double if K > 0.44, or redouble if K > 0.61, and the opponent should accept a double or redouble if K < 1.2. See post by: Øystein Johansen. NOVADICE™ are Certified to be of the highest quality and workmanship. Each die is subjected to rigid manufacturing protocols and industry guidelines to "Certified Perfect" standards. A chouette may be played with either a single doubling cube or multiple cubes. In a single-cube game, the only decision that the members of the team make individually concerns takes. If the box doubles, each team member can decide on his own whether to play on or drop out. Those who drop out each pay off to the box and no longer participate as team advisers. If the captain drops out while there are others on the team who wish to play on, the captaincy is assumed by one of these players and the previous captain drops to the bottom of the rotation. A blot within range of being hit with a single number but for which there are no ways to hit using a combination of numbers on both dice.
