Game Play Preferences

The Gameplay preferences control additional aspects of the Board window.

Auto bear off maximum checkers

When checked, GridGammon will automatically move for you if you are bearing off and the roll allows you to bear off checkers with all your moves (either 2 or 4 checkers depending on the roll). Note that this behavior only occurs once you are in a non-contact position, i.e. there is no possibility of your opponent hitting you.

Auto make forced moves

When checked, GridGammon will automatically move for you if you have only one (or no) possible move.

Show higher die first

When checked, GridGammon will always display the dice with the higher valued dice first.

Display opponent's moves 1 => 24 or 24 => 1

This affects how the text in game history (the upper right section of the board window) displays moves. You can display opponents moves from 1 to 24, matching the pip numbers, or your can display them as playing 24 to 1, matching common backgammon convention.
