Aganju: Hmm, it seems some of what you say is true. I've known that he is less interested in Backgammon, or at least appears to me to be.

I think the pieces on the bar at the start of the game in Crowded Backgammon and I suppose Backgammon Race, though I've not played that game, that do not have to be brought in on the next turn should be marked or segregated in some manner so as to differentiate them from pieces hit later in the game. This would facilitate playing the game as it would be obvious when returning to a game that you have a piece hit, instead clicking to move and wondering what's wrong with the site or game.

And a piece on the bar no matter how it got there should give you a backgammon if you can bear off all your pieces and your opponent has not taken one off.
