Backgammon is not chess!

In Response To: Backgammon is not chess! (Henrik Bukkjaer)

My point: Luck is not a boolean variable, it can be a little and it can be a lot. It's just an integrated part of our game, that we shouldn't spend too much effort quantifying and talking about... Spend your efforts on improving your game instead (so your opponents will need even more luck to overcome you!) :-)

Perfect.
