I applaud your efforts to build a total Backgammon Glossary.

Paul Weaver and I wrote a glossary for Backgammon Openings (Book A) that might interest you, though it was only for terms used in the book.

"Four Score Position" seems like a valid glossary entry; many seem to be using it. You might want to cross-reference "R4" and "T4" (see Four Score Position") and include them there as subentries.

Stick may have first coined "Nacked" in this thread; I don't remember previously seeing it. You might want to wait to see if it catches on or maybe Stick wants to weigh in. I don't mind either way.

That said, "Nacked" strikes me as less vital than, for example, "Bagai position" (referring to one in which one leaves a direct shot on a higher point in order to make a lower point in the inner board) which has no synonym, as far as I know.

By the way, your link hasn't worked for me. I encounter this error message: "This the backgammoncafe.com page can't be found."
