I agree that BK is a great site, though not perfect. Nothing in this world is or can be perfect, but this is no reason not to try to improve things.

A good way to improve BK further would be to fix the opening-moves-bug in the backgammon variants. here is a collection of links on the topic. Fencer, are you going to fix this also before BK 3.0?

Thom27: I don't know. I won't pretend that backgammon is my favorite game (because it is not).
Instead of a thread full of theories, can you give me some IDs of games that were affected by it?

Pedro Martínez: Is there a game without autopass that would suffer of the same problem?

Pedro Martínez: Hmmm, maybe I have found a possible source of the problem. Maybe. I'll try to upload a patch soon and we'll see.

I've just uploaded a patch that could (hopefully) solve the dice issue. We'll see soon. I don't promise anything, it needs to be tested.

Fencer: Well done, fencer; the identicals seem to have disappeared.

tonyh: How large was your sample size? And if they have completely "disappeared"...well, we have a different problem! :-)

wetware: le size was 152 games; I wrote 'seem to' but honestly, just haven't seen any identicals in the last 25 games or so.
What is your different problem?

tonyh: We should see some identical rolls--but not nearly as many as before.
