In Response To: Lets talk about what the rules are and should be (Dmitriy Obukhov)

There is no local backgammon scene in my hometown, so my only options for board play are the tournaments I travel to.

Sometimes I see the comment that BG should be more like chess or bridge. AFAIK, people don't attend chess and bridge tournaments and compete against each other using laptops.
