I've posted a bunch of these problems on rec.games.backgammon where I dubbed them "concession stand" problems. The player of the holding game is forced to concede something, and the question is what to concede.

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 95 Money session Jacoby pip: 99 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
