In Response To: Nackgammon Opening Rolls (Phil Simborg)

I think it would be very interesting to have more Nackgammon tournaments. The only obstacle I can see is that it's hard to get enough people interested. With poker around, it's already hard to get enough people interested in ordinary backgammon.

In the introduction to the Ballard/Weaver book on backgammon openings, Nack mentions that Paul had already done some rollouts of Nackgammon openings way back in the dark ages. Nack comments on the irony of a woman who was more interested in Nack's opinions of Nackgammon openings than in Paul's, even though Paul was in possession of far more quantitative data.

I wouldn't mind seeing some rollouts of Nackgammon openings, but honestly, I'm more eager to see the 2nd-roll ATS rollouts and 3rd-roll rollouts that Stick hasn't yet gotten around to posting on the front page of this site.
