Board Diagram FAQ
  • Crawford Scores
  • To display Crawford scores on your diagram, at the "Match Settings" section, select "Crawford" from the drop down menu (last option) next to White's Score or Blue's Score.
  • Cube Position Options
  • Take or Pass Decision
    Other than the standard Double / No Double decision, a new feature has been added to the Cube Position options menu allowing for the display of Take or Pass decisions with the cube already turned. To utilize this feature, select "White Doubles" or "Blue Doubles" from the Cube Position menu. Should you wish to import a Take / Pass decision from GNUBG, click on the action in the match log, i.e. "Take" or "Drop", and copy the Position and Match ID's as noted below. In eXtreme Gammon, the position would need to be copied from the Setup Position screen with "Take Action" selected, otherwise, simply edit the Cube Value and Cube Position after importing your XGID. Snowie Standard Text Format does not save positions at the Take / Pass point, but only at the Double / No Double point, therefore requiring the same edits as eXtreme Gammon. To revert to a Double / No Double Decision, edit the value of the cube from the Cube Value menu, then select "White Owns", "Blue Owns", or "Centered" from the Cube Position menu.
  • APBG or BGOnline Image Set Options
  • Select Default Image Set
    You may choose to utilize board images stored on APBG.NET's server or custom images stored on BGOnline.org. For those posting diagrams to Stick's Forum at BGOnline.org, it is preferred to utilize his local custom images. To set your preference, click the "BGOnline" radio button at the "Image Set" options. Your image set preference will be saved to a cookie.
  • Setup by GNUBG ID
  • Match Log
    In the newer versions of GNUBG, simply click on the checker play or cube action you wish to submit, while actively playing or browsing a previously completed match, and hit CTRL + C to copy the Position and Match ID's to your clipboard. Paste or hit CTRL + V to paste the ID's into the large text area at the Diagram Page. Older builds of GNUBG may require you to copy the Position and Match ID's from the Edit menu. After pasting your ID's, hit Enter on your keyboard or hit the "Set Position" button to submit your text.
  • Copying From Web Pages
    The Position ID script is very forgiving, therefore, you may copy various formats of the combination of GNUBG Position and Match ID's without experiencing an error. However, if the script rejects your Position and Match ID's, you may need to verify that you have copied all required characters for validation.
  • When pasting position and match ID's from your opponent's perspective, i.e. White on roll, the resulting diagram will be automatically flipped so that it may be viewed from "your", Blue's, perspective. Should you wish to retain the original perspective, hit "Flip Position".
  • Setup by eXtreme Gammon ID
  • Match Log
    Simply click on the checker play or cube action you wish to submit, while actively playing, browsing a previously completed match, or viewing a position, and hit CTRL + C to copy the ASCII Position to your clipboard. You may alternatively wish to hit CTRL + SHIFT + C to copy only the corresponding XGID. Paste or hit CTRL + V to paste the Position or XGID into the large text area at the Diagram Page. After pasting your ID, hit Enter on your keyboard or hit the "Set Position" button to submit your text.

Make the appropriate choice and hit "OK". Click the File menu at the top left of the Snowie tool bar. Proceed to the Export menu and select "Standard Text Format...". Save your position file, then locate and open it. (See "Copy & Paste" for further instructions.)

Proceed to the Export menu and select "Standard Text Format...". Save your position file, then locate and open it.
  • Copy & Paste
    Your position file should be saved in Snowie standard backgammon intermediate format and will be exported as a text file consisting of 40 semicolon separated values. Select and copy the entire text string. Paste the file contents into the large text area at the Diagram Page and hit Enter on your keyboard or hit the "Set Position" button to submit your text.
