In Response To: Do you know your backgammon values? (Timothy Chow)

I do not know my backgammon values, but I do know that if you're going to be behind in the match, 3a2a is a great place to be. You can turn the cube without worring about a recube, and a doubled win gets you to Crawford.

For that reason, I'll just take the gammon loss and play on. White can throw doubles or blue can cough up an airball, so I don't think it's worth staying.

23/12 or something like that.
