Why you just dont say you agree with me instead you response all this irrelevant results. You are wrong, my compransion is correct, my point was Bridge players took luck seriously. Because your comparison between bridge and backgammon is fundamentally flawed. (And sending me more than one private m...

Well put, Silene! Only things to add: How often do favorable or “convenient” rolls appear? That is what I was discussing before. My issue is not simply the occurrence of doubles. My issue is how often optimal rolls appear at precisely the right moment. Skilful backgammon players play in a way to max...

So apparently we have agreement from two players that the dice on BGA are rigged - but one says it's being rigged to make the games close, and the other says its being rigged to make someone a clear winner.

GnuBG will perform luck analysis on a game, presumably there are other programs that will do it too, but to make it native to BGA would require a fair bit of work that, frankly, most people would ignore.

If I make him an account him and I could play some of these games together, but I seem to remember reading a while ago that multiple accounts from the same ip address was not allowed. It's allowed, but a warning does get displayed on the ...

I just had a game where another player offered me a trade, I accepted, we traded, and then they immediately used a Knight on me and stole the resource back. ... What do people think about this? To me, it feels like poor sportsmanship, almost like they cheated the trade. I’m curious to hear how othe...

Also, I could be completely imagining this, but I feel like the wood background of the forum is brighter than it used to be. This is the kind of thing that messes with your mind. I can't tell if it's always been that way and I just now noticed it, or if it recently changed. Like that logo on the to...
