ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jay Bidal is a Canadian expatriate living in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Jay teaches English at Zayed University, is married, and has a young son (who's rapidly improving in backgammon himself!).

Jay has been playing and studying backgammon seriously for the last several years and recently won first place at the 2005 Abu Dhabi Ramadan tournament. He plays mostly online on the FIBS backgammon server as Jaysbird and is organizing a live backgammon club in Abu Dhabi. His immediate goal is to become the best player in the Gulf region and the Middle East.

This column is aimed at intermediate players who wish to improve their play by improving their thinking, but hopefully players of all levels will be able to benefit to some degree. One difference this time around is that I would like to solicit matches from you, the readers, as basis for future columns.
