Hi Wayne, You appear to have something odd happening. Your image looks like the bars containing the point numbers have been swapped around using Cut and Paste.
When I do the steps you ask, I have the top player (White) on roll with 31 to play. This is indicated by the white arrow next to the numerical marker for Point 1; it’s at the top, not the bottom as shown in your picture. This behaviour looks completely correct to me. Please note that the position you have is rather unusual, with both players having a huge number of men back (and pip counts over 200). This looks to me like somebody has set up the position incorrectly, with the pieces for the players swapped over, and presented it to you. (I suspect the top and bottom rows of point numbers have been swapped manually in the image from rec.games.backgammon. When gnubg produces such an image, the bottom player is X and the top player is O). If so, this would be the equivalent position with the pieces set up correctly Position ID: mDfwAUS4uwMBDA Match ID: cIkFAAAACAAA The pip counts are 123 to 158, which looks a lot more normal to me. I hope this helps.

Hi, I did retry this today but it still didn't give the desired result for me. I am using gnubg v1.03.000-mingw 20140804 If you have a spare 10 minutes please could you try this test? On your version of gnubg.. 1. Paste in GNU Backgammon Position ID: DCBwdwcE8IE9Qw then 2. > menu game->swap players After doing the above, please can you confirm that you get this board BCconfiguration? http://i.imgur.com/Gm2WOdB.png Thanks again On 17 Dec 2014 17:00, <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I was given this problem on rgb backgammon with the position ID - DCBwdwcE8IE9Qw ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GNU Backgammon Position ID: DCBwdwcE8IE9Qw Match ID : cAngAAAAAAAA +13-14-15-16-17-18------19- 20-21-22-23-24-+ X: YOUR OPPONENT | O X | | X X O | 0 points | X | | X X O | | | | X | | | | X | | | | | v| |BAR| | 7 point match (Cube: 1) | X | | | | X | | | | X O | | O O O | | X O | | O O O | On roll | X O | X | O O O X | 0 points +12-11-10--9--8--7-------6--5--4--3--2--1-+ O: YOU Pip counts : O 252, X 242 You rolled 31 what would you play and what is it from the above?

Is there a way to quickly and easily invert the direction and pip numbers so that I would be bearing off to the bottom right, instead of the top right? I have attached two screenshots to illustrate: 2014-12-15 13_52_04-GNU Backgammon - Invert direction - original.png and 2014-12-15 13_52_04-GNU Backgammon - Invert direction - reversed.png The reversed image state is what I would like to achieve. Also I guess the dice should be on the right hand side of the board if it is my turn to move (now anticlockwise and down instead of clockwise and up) Perhaps this could be added as a toggle button, or a menu item in Options? Please let me know what you think and if you received this email successfully? Thanks for your time. Wayne (sebalotek)
