Transcribing a match with XG

If you have Extreme Gammon (aka ‘XG’) for PC, you’ll find the ‘transcribe a match’ option on the startup menu, or under the Menu at the Status Bar.

Here are some pro-tips for transcribing a match:

If bottom player gets opening roll, type larger number FIRST.

Shortcuts:

  • T – ‘takeback’
  • F – ‘fan’ / bounce when player on the bar
  • E – ‘edit’ mode
  • ‘Right-click’ to cancel
  • Keying in the next dice moves to next player’s roll
  • Crtl-D to ‘double’ or click doubling cube
  • Crtl-S to ‘save’

A lot of these tips came from the ‘Help’ menu, and from this video from the USBGF: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Est8yjcONac
