Where can I find some good Ludo problems?

Fwiffo: Make do you mean by "Ludo puzzle" and what makes one good?

playBunny: Back in Jan 2011 (yet not that many posts ago), I asked if anyone had spotted a Ludo "backgammon", defined as the loser having all four pieces still in their base at the end. I'm sure that there must have been a few but I've not seen one myself until this game.

Now what we need is an example of a "perfect  backgammon", where the hapless loser doesn't even get out of their base even once. I think that it could be a long time before we see one of those.

playBunny: I had one recently Ludo (coan.net vs. rod03801) (not a perfect one, just a "regular" one)

playBunny: next one Chińczyk (southafrikanse vs. aaru)

rod03801, aaru: That's very interesting. One from 2011, one from 2013 and one from 2014, so far. Rare as Fabergé eggs, perhaps, but not as rare as hen's teeth.

playBunny: Here's a 2015 Ludo "backgammon". This time it's me as the victim.
