In Response To: Backgammon Theft -- I Forgot to Mention Earlier (Bill Riles)

To appease a regular BG sparring/training partner of mine (Gary Fries) in 2001, I bought a set of 4 small precision dice from CJC. I had the dice with me along with medium and large dice precision dice at the 2002 Midwest BG championships.

First - - - Championship division main bracket 3rd round…. My opponent Joe Freedman, I take an 8-1 lead in an 11ptr before the dinner break using my board and medium size dice. After the break when we resume, Joe says let’s use the little ones. Now I know that it counts as an equipment change in the middle of a match but want to be a gentleman with an 8-1 lead, so I agree. I take a 10-1 lead at Crawford, then proceed to lose 4 straight games (including a gammon) to lose the match.

Second - - - I trade the cursed dice to Gary for a set of medium sized dice. Within several months, he decided that he did not like them either and gave them away to Bill Pow. All the while I have to continually refuse to play with them first vs. Gary and then vs. Bill. I conclude next time that I don’t like dice I am tossing them in the trash and not recycling.

Third - - - After a few years, Bill Pow decided he did not like them and says he sold them to Joe Freedman.

Fourth - - - Joe do you still have them?

May the stolen dice be as cursed as these “Joe Freedman” dice from now on!!!!!
