In Response To: The Golden Rule of ..... Backgammon? (Stick)

And it takes a lot of discipline to follow your new rule of never giving up and grinding it out the best you can despite the circumstances.

A great example last week in the NYC semifinals. I watched a bit of Victor Ashkenazi's semi-final -- he went on to win the tourney. He fell behind 1-10/13 -- told me later every point he lost was a single drop on a too late cube. But he rallied to 8-10/13, fell behind 8-12/13, and, ultimately, won. Extremely long and grinding match.

Discipline.
