Re: [Bug-gnubg] gnubg - edit mode - how to choose bear off direction / tray

[Ian Shaw]

Are  you sure you have set up the position correctly?

You/Wayne (red) are the top player, moving clockwise to the top right. Bob 
(white) is the bottom player, moving anti-clockwise to the bottom right. 

Look at the pip count! Are both sides playing monster back games?

The chequers are arranged in a position that would be more commonly found if 
red were playing anti-clockwise to the bottom right.

I suspect you've entered the position incorrectly.

Thanks again,

I'm pretty sure player turn has been set to be red. Red (me) has rolled 3-2 in 
the move list (move #4).

I've also attached a more detailed image of the GUI's red direction of play 
arrow indicator (circled next to the 1-point)

This shows the red bearing off quadrant is at the top right of the board I 
would like the red bearing off quadrant to be at the bottom right of the board 
instead, if this is possible in gnubg.
