If yahoo fixes these things it should be an excellent server for bg. Some
will think it an advantage that there are multiple "game rooms" (I think so
anyway). There are two social lounges, an intermediate lounge, and an
advanced lounge.

I've played a few games at Yahoo.
You can undo a turn, but you have to do it before your
opponent rolls.
It's not a bad place to play. Much quieter than FIBS, as you
don't see shouts, game reports, or log ins/outs.
And yes, I KNOW you can toggle these on FIBS. :)
All Java backgammon games do that. FunCom and PlaySite have the same problem. It
sucks!!!

IRONY: software defficiencies compensate BG-tournament rules defficiency!
The Crawford convention is only an awkward botch, but no one seem willing to reject
it, less because it's opportune and more because he is used to it, since he plays
tournament BG.

subject - found in DejaNew or Backgammon Gallore.)

We have upgraded our software to support the Crawford rule now.
Let me know if it works ok.
BTW, I'm the engineer for Yahoo! Games. Anyone here should feel free to send
me an email if you have problems with the backgammon game at Yahoo!.
