Nahh, he didn't. Not that I even looked for it. Just remembered that we
briefly chatted 'bout backgammon prior to/during Coz-Xmas 99.

Why $2AUD? Must have missed the significance of that amount. Sure doesn't
buy a beer in Strike's pub.

I used to play a lot. Still got the opening theories down. But haven't had
much practice lately, so my endgame would probably suck right now. As well
as cube calculations in mid-game. Can't 'visualize' a pip-count very well
anymore. Maybe I should get a new version of Jelly-Fish. The last version I
had died on an old computer in Delray.

So what was that hole-in-one? Two consecutive doubles that were the only
way to get your ass out of a bad doubling situation?
