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

Perhaps, he dropped some cubes he shouldn't have, in your opinion, by playing to an opponent's skill level?

Perhaps he did. Perhaps he did not. It surprises me how often this excuse is used. I hear this all the time: He dropped a clear take, but I am sure this was due to the skill factor. How sure can you be? I have seen even giants make .6 cube blunders on more than just a few occasions. How do you know what is inside his head? Why not ask the man what he was thinking instead of guessing.
