I used to play a bit of backgammon, back in the day. It is a fun game, and not a brain crusher like chess.

No, but it can be a soul-crusher. You can play perfectly and still lose.

I still play on the computer -- Hoyle Board Games. Nothing quite like playing against an alien who can turn himself into Arnold Schw. and Marilyn Monroe!

I am extremely good at this game. I will crush ninety percent of the population.

Then you should be playing for money and getting rich. Most money I ever won in a single game was backgammon. I beavered an unwarranted double by my opponent. I then doubled him two rolls later (that's eight folks) and he accepted out of spite I guess. At a hundred bucks a game you can do the math.

He really should have dropped. We were about to break contact and I was well ahead in pip count. I guess that's why they call it gambling!

I don't like gambling. That's why I love chess more than backgammon. 😉

IMHO, in chess there's no luck, it's pure scientific psychological war.

Hoyle Board Games are a lot of fun on the computer. Doesn't it have Battleship and you play against these real goofy characters?
