Nack's Genius Analysis

Nack has demonstrated that an understanding of second and third roll positions is helpful in determining the best play later on in the game. Nack has explained a difficult and advanced concept in elegant and eloquent language.

Hope the bgonline readers appreciate the treasure they are getting for free when they read what Nack writes, as opposed to the BS (for example, see the three paragraphs below) that I contribute here.

Falafel is relatively weak in the opening phase but exceptionally talented in the rest of the game. Imagine how strong he could be if he knew anything at all about the first few rolls of the game. When I saw F in Cyprus in April, I generously offered to give him lessons on the first few rolls for only 500 euros per hour, but he politely declined. He probably would have beaten Steve Sax in the finals of the Giants' tournament in Chicago in May if he had taken me up on my offer.

One last comment. I was surprised to learn from reading Nack's analysis that the best play in 51S-61P-31P-41 is exactly the same as the best play in 31P-61P-51S-41.

Question for Nack: Are the margins also the same in 51S-61P-31P-41 as in 31P-61P-51S-41?
