TIP OF THE DAY: Three quotes to help you improve your backgammon: 1. You cannot hire someone to practice for you. No matter how much you play, read, or what help you get, you simply have to log in a good number of hours of deliberate practice to improve at any endeavor that requires skill. Deliberate practice is not just playing, but breaking down the game into small pieces and learning each element of the game thoroughly. 2. You dont know what you dont know. You can study this game for years and never come up with the strategies, short cuts, reference positions, and rule of thumb that have already been discovered by others. Read books and articles and get help from teachers and mentors--all can save you many hours of pain. 3. It wont get done if it aint fun. It should be challenging and push you, but it should still be enjoyable. Find a friend to study with you; try a different way to study; or just walk away for a while. --Phil Simborg
