Hi!
Sad that you are retiring from backgammon. You have done a fantastic transcription effort over the years and it will be some time before anybody dethrones you from the top spot!
Backgammon has its ups and downs and trying to improve your game can be very frustrating as it is just so complicated to master. On the other hand I like to think that backgammon can be enjoyed at any level and focusing too much on equity and PR might not always be the best way to enjoy the game.
Good luck on your future activities! Hope to see you back in backgammon one day!
Best regards,
TP
