joshi tm: if someone doubled me in anit back I would decline and lose the game :)

SafariGal: thats why I double extremely early on

joshi tm: since you are trying to lose, it's easy to keep a couple of men back and get backgammoned, so most likely a game that has been doubled will be worth 6 points

Vikings: So it's no game for the cube because it's too easy to get backgammonned?

joshi tm: not all games go that way, but I would guess that I win or loose 98% of games with a backgammon, and I have completed all 5 point matches in 1 or 2 games

Vikings: Has it occurred to you that anti-backgammon is a silly game? Just checking.

grenv: no more silly than any other anti-game, just responding

Vikings: touche

grenv: It might be that only the cube (and gammons and backgammons) are silly. Anti-Bg checker play can be challenging, though still maddening.
