In Response To: Luck vs. Skill (trichard)

As I can see there will not be any soon changes in backgammon except clocks. Best variants which favor skill are Nackgammon (which results in games with too many checkers back for both sides) and Slotgammon (you have to slot on your very first move (which has some future in side events, I think). There are some threads here about same topic. In any case I will never suggest any change in basic rules anymore. I tried once but players here convinced me on brutal way :-) Especially Neil and now I agree with them.
