Hypergammon--information please?

I have been recommending that beginners play Hypergammon as an easier way to learn the basics of the game. (Hypergammon is simply each player starts with 3 checkers on his 24 point and then you play, without the cube, until someone bears off all three checkers.)

1. Who invented this?

2. It is a highly skillful game or a simple game?

3. Would XG play this well?

4. Has this ever been offered as a side event at a major tournament, and if so, were the winners usually the better players?

5. Is this a good game to play for money with the cube?

6. Has anyone here play a lot of this game?

7. Do you agree that this is a good way for beginners to get acquainted with Backgammon.
