IMO, the aspiring player needs regular positive reimforcement in the form of instant gratification.

That's an interesting idea. Many computer games have "achievements". Recognizing certain achievements might add interest for new players. E.g.,

1. Winning 3 matches in a row, 4 matches in a row, etc.

2. Playing a game with an ER below x. Playing a match with an ER below x.

3. Unluckiest game ever; luckiest game ever.

4. Rolling doubles 3 times in a row, 4 times in a row, etc.

5. Rolling double sixes 3 times in a game, 4 times, etc.

6. Winning a game without hitting.

7. Longest time spent sitting on the bar.

8. Biggest comeback in a game. (Here, "comeback" is measured in terms of pip count. So this would mean winning a game after being down some large number of pips.)

9. Largest victory by pip count.

10. Most opposing checkers on the bar.

11. Priming the opponent; closing out the opponent.

12. Winning the game after being closed out.

(You would have the option to turn off achievements if you wanted to.)
