In Response To: My own dmp thoughts (Timothy Chow)

I concur. A bit like mathematicians wanting kids to learn set theory before numbers ?

As for the specific point made, I have seen several strong chess players mastering the pure DMP play very well and failing miserably to take the gammons into account, probably because of their win/lose background. Coming from chess, it also was my case when I started backgammon. At least for chess players I would place gammons as early as possible in the curriculum.
