Well,

In most chess tournaments a score of the game is kept and turned in to the TD. There are huge databases filled with the games of chess players online, and players study the games of future opponents. Games of low level club players are routinely published in their local publications.

There is a huge database online of the games from sanctioned scrabble tournaments. I can record my own online scrabble games and give them to whomever I want or publish them.

Boxing matches are on video and potential opponents study every move as with tennis, and all the other active sports. I would think games would be taped and studied by any serious contender at any level.

I came across an obscure low stakes pokerhand I played online dissected in some forum. And I can gleefully watch Phil Helmuth play the AA that he should have tossed.

I've never heard one complaint from players of any sort of any sport about recording a game.

Fisher blundered game 2 against Spassky and if anyone would squawk about visibility it would have been Fisher.

Yet you think this is nowhere near true, or perhaps maybe a tiny bit is true, but that tiny glimpse of validity assuredly cannot relate to backgammon.

What occurs publicly, is public.
