Why should a good backgammon player never play a friendly game
against a beginner?

Because they will double randomly for no reason at all, say that the
double is justified when they win the game, insist that they are much better
than you and that all your wins are due to luck and generally be more irritating
than a swarm of gnats on a campsite.

What is the hardest problem in backgammon?

Figuring out whether your two rear checkers should protect
each other by anchoring to defend against being blitzed,
or be split to maximise your chance of hitting a shot.
