In Response To: Changes in backgammon over the years (Jake Jacobs)

Your infamous match came up in the conversation at the staff dinner in Novi this past weekend.

Just to make sure everyone understands (and although I wasn't there, Sam Pottle was and he stressed this last weekend), this was a HYBRID clocked match -- started with analog clock and then switched to digital -- antiquated practice (and that might be giving it too much forgiveness).

I also recall from your article in the Flint Newsletter that your opp took some long breaks (with clock stopped, of course, and you advocating that in the future, breaks be on the clock by rule).
