In Response To: Bob Wachtel Interview (phil simborg)

Aside from backgammon, what are your other hobbies or interests?

...I've always enjoyed racquet sports, but it's really hard to make up for not having taken lessons as a kid. There's no substitute for the technique that comes as second nature to you if you are taught the right way from the start. There's an analogy here to backgammon: quite a few players from the pre-bot era have a hard time unlearning the false principles they adopted when they did not know any better, while the younger players who were bot-trained from the start don't have that hurdle to jump.
