In Response To: No chance backgammon (mtuhtan)

There is NO a GAME at all! Chess is not a GAME too! President of Game Academy (Spielakademie) from Wien Mrs. Dagmar has published 2-3 years ago an article "Is it chess a game?" where had tried to find some specific feautures of the definition of word "GAME". So, she had found that chess is not correspond to this definition. I was firstly a little bit surprized, but after reading agree with she: there is NO GAME with FULL information. It is impossible from logic. It is NONCENCE from DEFINITION! Real game definition from my personal point of view should include one of two necessary features or better both: incomplete information in the game or/and one important game element should be random. For example, bridge, scat, preferance, belot and a lot of other card games have incopmlete information during the game, in backgammon we have full information, but we have random element (dice) too and poker has both: incomplete information as well as random elements. Attempt to excluding random element from backgammon means not change this game in so called "perfect-information game", but simple transformation a REAL GAME in some kind of puzzle with many moves end result of which could be predetermine.
