Субъект: Interview with.....

Normally on interviews I would wait until the last person has answered all the questions and they've been posted, but since reza is having problems with his PC I think we should carry on to the next person.

Which is.....

Pedro Martinez

Usual way please, send me any question you'd like to see asked of Pedro and I'll put them all together and send him them. Please say if its ok to use your name on the questions.

Субъект: Re: Backgammon Rules

Сделано для plaintiger (11. Ноября 2005, 09:53:56)

playBunny: that's good, pB - thanks.

i'd also like to suggest that the first sentence about the doubling cube be changed to, "Backgammon (and its variants) is the only game which can be defined as a match that employs a doubling cube."

as it is, it could be taken to mean that the doubling cube is somehow used to define the match. i'm a pretty smart guy, but it took me many readings of those rules and the playing of a match just to figure out that that wasn't what that first sentence meant.

playBunny: I think adding the last sentence about gammons and backgammons could be sufficient.

Субъект: Re: Backgammon Rules

plaintiger: Suggestion:

If a double is offered then the opponent must decide whether to accept it or reject it. Accepting will multiply the cube value by two and the game continues. For example, if the cube is at 2 and a double is offered then accepting will cause it to go to 4. Rejecting the offer will resign the game and the winner will gain the number of points on the cube at the time that it was offered. Using the same example, the winner will gain 2 points. Gammons and backgammons are not relevant when a cube offer is declined.

Субъект: Re:

Fencer: ohhhhhh, wait: i understand now. the number on the doubling cube is added to the player's previous score. i thought that passage was talking about adding the doubling cube value number of points to the winner's score for that game - i.e., in the case i describe, i would have gained three points: two for a gammon and one for the doubling cube.

i understand now. but those doubling cube rules could be a lot clearer - at least the English ones could. i'm not the only person on this site who's been bewildered by them.

Субъект: Re:

Fencer: if point 1) answered my question i wouldn't have asked it; i've probably read those doubling cube rules fifteen times trying to figure them out. i thought i finally understood, until this happened.

i will pursue point 2), however.

Субъект: Re:

plaintiger: 1) "If a double offer is sent, the opponent must decide whether to accept it (and multiply the current doubling cube value by 2) or to reject it, which causes a loss of the current game and adding the doubling cube value number of points to the winner's score."
2) There is a better board to ask such questions.

i'm confused about a doubling cube rule. i just offered a double (in hyperbackgammon) when the cube read "1" and neither i nor my opponent had any pieces off the board yet. my opponent rejected the offer, so i won - but i only got one point out of the deal. shouldn't that have counted as a gammon and gotten me two points, since She didn't have any pieces off the board yet?

thanks.
