In Response To: ABT Dead Cube rule needs revision (Daniel Murphy)

There's very little of this in tournament backgammon. There isn't unanimity on what constitutes permissible "gamesmanship," but angle-shooting and deceit are actively discouraged.

I must be an easy mark or have a low tolerance level, but I feel like I've run into more gamesmanship (psychological or otherwise) than I'm comfortable with.
