Backgammon is not chess!

"Relative to tournament play, however, I have always wondered why we don't have more Nackgammon played as a side event."

I don't think Nackgammon is as interesting as backgammon and know that many good players who have tried it out shares my opinion. The game tends to create basically long holding games / manouvering around type of games if played correctly which gives me the association of lifting stones from one pile to another. As an occasional sideevent, yes sure, but not as a regular diversion.

On the other hand, I would like to see more slot rule/simborg rule games, it is basically a slightly more complicated version of backgammon as the mandatory slotting sometimes creates more complicated positions.
