Everyday Errors in Checker Play

The author has generously made this new backgammon book available for free. It is a worthwhile read. I have worked my way through the first 10 problems, and have found them to be edifying and enjoyable. And yes, I did miss 3 out of the first 10!

Level: Intermediate to Advanced

He should sell it and when he's made $150 bucks go out and buy vBulletin for that ugly, ugly forum.

I, too, was initially put off by the interface at BgOnline. But then I found out you can include HTML in your messages. I still find the layout to be awkward, but the payback for complex posts more than makes up for the difficulties.

For instance, check out this post. There is simply no way to produce something as attractive or functional at TwoPlusTwo. Posting a rollout is also much more attractive at BGO. Here is an example. At TwoPlusTwo, you have to use CODE tags to post your rollouts, and even then, they are displayed in a stiff Courier font. For example, here is a rollout I posted today at TwoPlusTwo.

In addition, BGO features many of the best players in the game who post on a regular basis. By comparison, this site has withered in recent months.

You do have writing talent. Didn't know that nobility could be noble. Great gesture.
