Ideally, backgammon can sharpen one's skills at business and in life in general. The main benefit of backgammon is that it is fun. But it can't hurt to have an answer for family members who ask "What do you get out of that game, anyway?"
Your most difficult backgammon opponent is the one who is always with you: the one you see in the mirror before you begin the game. This article will help you make that difficult person into an ally instead of an enemy when you play backgammon, and perhaps in the rest of your life as well.
What do you do when there's no backgammon in your burg? "Wouldn't it be nice if live backgammon were available right in my back yard?" Peter and Gina Carcieri of Cincinnati asked themselves that question and said, "Why not?"
My purpose in writing this article is not just to make most of us feel humbled and realize why we're so much worse than The Best Backgammon Players In The World. My hope is that you will be inspired to learn more about an area of the game that will raise your level of play.
Like most serious backgammon players, I want to improve my game. So, like most, I use Snowie and GNUBG to analyze backgammon matches and positions to look at my mistakes. The problem is that most of us don't really learn by looking at our mistakes.
