In Response To: 31P-xxP-31 comparisons (Nack Ballard)

At publication and for some time after, I knew what was on every page of Backgammon Openings, and in what order. Sadly, my memory has slipped.

31P-61P-31 + 31P-53P-11 is in the book, large as life, on pp. 68-69. It was one of the very last spreads Paul and I wrote and elected to include.

Evidently, it was Stick's little 2700-trial no-live-cube rollout of [N S13 E24], which I just rediscovered, that allowed us to nudge N/E's average margin up to or above .010, and therefore into the "barely correct" category.

The S play (Split, 24/23 13/10) is also diagrammed, compared and discussed there for both positions.
