Playing to an opponents weaknesses 
  I've decided to put this question in a new thread, but its related to the concept of playing BG taking into account an opponents weaknesses.

He states his errors were to trap me into difficult situations... more »

So did "luck" prevail in the Monty vs. M. Petch match? 
  I won the series, 5 to 2, and I'm wondering if those of you who followed it think it was decided by a clear skill difference or was it due mostly to luck? And what is the GNUBG assessment of luck overall (as well as skill)? On another note, I think 15 points is too long, as I found myself losing focus towards the end of some of the matches, not that I'm... more »

The last Monty vs M. Petch match. 
  I created a FIBS account and downloaded the 3D software. My username there is MontyBackgammon. I was able to connect to FIBS. On Saturday (at 2:30 PM EST), what do I need to do to get to the correct table? Or will I see a message from M. Petch, asking me to join in a 15 pt. match?

Current state of backgammon sites 
  While I'm at it... Been noticing some trends lately that make me feel concerned. Perhaps the amount of cash floating around isn't big enough at the moment? Perhaps some laws are starting to bite (sending off your personal information to Neteller, Paypal etc due to EU requirements surely will scare some people off).... more »
