In Response To: PvP Cube action? (Timothy Chow)

The Psycholgy of Backgammon is a fascinating subject, especially in live play. I totally get the giant's perspective - they play backgammon out of a cardboard box at an outpost somewhere in sunny Alaska. They, like all of us aspire to play near perfect backgammon. I think I just insulted Stick, unintentionally of course. The point being, they don't care much if you squander equity searching for an achilles heel. They'll simply view it as an opportunity to take advantage - why give them that opportunity??????? This is what makes the psychology of backgammon so fascinating. For everyone and I do mean everyone, has a donkey eager to get out. The question is what button to press and how hard? You can win a match long before it is actually won. All because you pressed the right button. I believe they refer to this as Self Actualisation; one's mental state reaching a point of apogee.
