Will the real Bob Floyd please stand up

I copied Bob Floyd's position from Bob Floyd's article that Tom Keith linked to in his post in this thread. If you re-read carefully the page that you linked to, you will see that the position you copied was explicitly not attributed to Bob Floyd, since Paul Tanenbaum said, "I have since been informed that Bob Floyd published a position essentially identical in an obscure, now defunct, backgammon magazine several years ago."

And sorry for being unclear—I did indeed mean that White rolled 61 from the bar and played bar/19*, fanning with the other checker. I said "something like 61" rather than "61" to demonstrate awareness that 61 wasn't the unique roll that would achieve this.
