Subject: Nack/Back

Modified by x7x7x7x7x7 (4. January 2005, 00:13:15)

An initial rollout of 1080 games shows the Back position to win 56% of the time (providing equals are playing). That's about -.120 for the Nack side.

In a money game (gammons and bg's counting), the eqiuty is even worse at about -.280 for Nack.

As I stated earlier, it would be intersting as a teaching tool or as a handicap to get a weaker player to play ( I might see if I can get my boss to play

), but the Back side's race lead is a huge advantage.
