AlliumCepa: I speak German, I don’t have a shrink and I’m very familiar with the term anyway. Chill, there’s no need to get upset at my lighthearted comment. What would be your solution to fix the auto pass for backgammon?

AlliumCepa: You poor soul. If you think the comments I previously made were "cruel comments", you are so wrong. I made light-hearted comments which I am assuming were interpreted as such by more intelligent followers of this discussion thread. Look back to 2008 (I think), when I first made comments about the inadequacy of the auto-pass feature installed on Brainking. I actually don't give a (xxxx) what's implemented on other sites - this discussion board is about what's implemented on BRAINKING. So keep to the point. What's implemented on Brainking is inadequate, has been for at least 15 years, and we all know that it's not going to change. But we stay here because most of us like this site, and the friendliness of (most of) our intelligent opponents, like moistfinger and Dice Cheater

Anjil: Thankfully I blocked him (her???) years ago, I thought he (she???) had disappeared. That's the sort of person you can be grateful for meeting at a vast distance, and never have to interact with again.

Anjil: Always private games! He understandably doesn’t want anyone witnessing his insults, that’s why I pasted his comments on the board, as you did. He’s been winning all his games against me of late so he’s been quiet :-)

Over eleven years ago this conversation happened in the eleventh game of a seventeen game match that I won 17 to 7. We have not played a game since

Walter Montego: (18. July 2013, 07:13:20) You say a lot about Backgammon, but I doubt if you're such an authority on the subject that I should pay much attention to your opinion on it. I will, however, keep in mind the things you say. If your skills can't beat such a poor player as myself, then how do you explain your meteoric rise in the rating chart these passed two months? And why play me? Are you a glutton for abuse?

I think you suffer from selective memory, as you are one of the luckiest players I play and yet you never notice how lucky you are. At least I know I'm lucky. I went up amazingly fast two weeks ago, peaking at 2410 just five days ago, and now I have lost every match in five days, though for some reason I am still leading against you in this one. Just because I make plays that are not the recommended or typical plays does not mean that I have not analyzed my options and made thoughtful consideration of the alternatives. This is especially so in how I approach the double cube offers from opponents. And speaking of that, you accepted a double offer I made in a previous game in this match. Now there's a telling indication of your Backgammon skills!

Yes, you continue to hold to your belief that I am lucky. You just can't accept the fact that some people are better players than yourself and the only possible reason that you lose to them is that they must be lucky. We've played 54 matches. I do not know how many games we have played. But if matches are an indication of skill over the long term, it would seem that the 28 to 26 score of the matches says we're fairly even in skills regardless of our technique. We both have a different style to Backgammon. Has it occurred to you that your style might not work as well against mine? If you were as great of a player as you seem to think you are, you would make adjustments in your play to take this into account when you play me. I say this on the assumption that there is enough skill in Backgammon for such adjustments to be made and that both of us are skilled enough to take advantage of such adjustments. I have beat Sergey82 decisively. He obviously did not change his playing style, but LikeWowMan2Cool and HappyJuggler0 know how to beat me. Why don't you learn from them and bring it back here when you're ready to demonstrate just how good you really are?

The Unfathomable Abyss: (18. July 2013, 04:31:39) you are to lucky. as i always said. you are not that good, you are just lucky

Walter Montego: Well said, my friend! But your effort is probably wasted, because our ignorant, rude and abominable non-person probably can't read this anyway.
