Backgammon is a game where a single pip matters.
The three positions today have a couple of things in common.
First, they were all recent forwards from Phil Simborg.
Second, they all offer Black a chance to use small numbers to hit inside his board.

I'll get even with you Jake. You take my positions and use them to write an article. And you think you've got the right to do this just because you have spent hundreds of hours over the years helping me improve my game? What gall!
Thanks for the excellent analysis. I will add them to the thousands I have already saved from you, and I will pass them on to my students and friends (yes, what I learn from you, I do pass on!)

Hi Phil:
Based on your article this month I guess I'll have to write them up quickly else you will write them up first. Be warned! When I started writing I was thinner, had more hair, and lived in Chicago. Right now you are thinner, have more hair, live in Chicago, and have just started writing. Your future looms!
Best,
Jake

Thanks for the advice, Jake, and glimpse into the future. I will stop writing immediately.
