In Response To: Bearing off against a nearly-busted backgame (David Levy)

Being a lesser mortal I will of course not leave a free offering 5/off or 6/3 5/3 it will be. I have two hands and ten fingers more than enough to count the bad rolls. 5/off wins the day.

I am going to organise a meeting a star chamber. All those people who spread vicious rumours that XG does not understand certain positions will be expected to attend and ordered to wear a sack cloth and will have certain penances to perform. The truth is it is they who do not understand XG. If you set XG up with enough legs and dont use the truncated default settings it will take the long journey to the end of the game many times over and reveal amazing things.

I gotta go and try to conjure up a scenario to justify the winning candidate I never even thought of, 6/4 3/off. XG is trundling along I dont think its going to flip any more. The alternative 5/off is very close as is often the case no sack cloth for me.
