I am trying to push for a doubling cube in every game which uses dice ... why only backgammon ?
It can speed up long Ludo sequences, even help speed up dice chess ... I would also try to play regular chess using doubling cube ... why not ?
there are plenty of situations when the opponent has an advantage and may offer you doubling cube and you can accpet it knowing your skills ...
Doubling cube is nothing more than increasing the stake ... why not to use it in any game ?
