In Response To: Another Issue for Tournament Directors (Stick)

Many good points, but as usual I'm going to pick on the one I find weak:

Others in the tournament will argue it's not as mentally tiring to play on a computer as it is to play on an actual board.

I find it less mentally tiring to play on a Taki board. So, should Taki boards be banned?

I don't like playing on computers, so even if I were given the choice (to enjoy a "less mentally tiring" experience), I choose not to do that. But at the same time I object to someone else doing it.

People who take this attitude should find an Orwellian 1984 re-enactment group and do that instead of play backgammon. They'll fit in perfectly there.
