In Response To: The luck metric (David Rennie)

What you have described like simultanious play at two boards is duplicated backgammon.

Duplication of rolls (as well as duplication of cards in bridge) is very important for tournament organizers as well as for players, because this option allow promoting competitions with obviously equal conditions for both sides at any part of the game or the match and excluded any questions about high influence of luck to end result of a game or a match. In this case we can introduce first time a basic principle of intellectual game competition – equal game and play conditions. First experience with duplicated rolls match played on sensor boards "BEZMA" has made American team Ray Fogerlund& Bill Finneran against Japan team Mochy&Co in two games match after Nordic Open 2008. http://fairbg.ning.com/video/first-duplicated-match-after In Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine from 1st till 5th October 2008 there was the first Fair Backgammon Duplicated Team Tournament. http://www.gammonvillage.com/backgammon/magazine/article_display.cfm?resourceid=5683 In Monte Carlo 2010 during World Championship there was demo match: USA team Stick&Matt against international team Falafel&Garal in two games. One game of this last match you can see below: http://fairbg.ning.com/forum/attachment/download?id=3548299%3AUploadedFile%3A6522
