Backgammon – A small Debate on Luck and Skill
ByBackgammon has been discribed as a game of both luck and skill. But upto what degree does these factors affect the game play ? In a game with less points (3-5 pt) even beginners can win the experts with great ease which is a proof that luck dominates most of the game. Tough this is not true for games with higher points ( 11 pt), in such case skills help you a lot to win the game. Rules like simborg rule have been proposed to minimize the luck factor of the game and this has been sucessfully followed in many tournaments.
