Hi everyone.
I was looking through an article and they said:
Quote:The best opening roll (3-1) only gives that player a 55% chance to win.
I found it interesting that an opening roll could give you a better chance of winning.
I am curious what others thought. Is there an opening roll, like 3-1, that is the best opening roll to determine if you win?
What do you think?

Are you interesting in participating in a just for fun tournament with handicaps?
I am experimenting with handicaps in a just-for-fun tournament. For example, someone with an ELO of, say 1500, would start out with 2 points ahead in the a 7 point match when playing somebody with an larger ELO, like say of 1600.
These matches would be unrated therefor no ELO changes will occur on the outcome of the match.
This type of competition might open the doors for stronger players to offer playing time to those with lower ELOs giving those an opportunity to improve with experience. Unrated handicap play would introduce advice and feedback during play by either opponent, spectators, team members, etc. Gaining support for knowing when to run, hit, offer the cube, decline the cube, etc.
Interested? Post a reply here to let me know.

Hey friends
this has probably been discussed before, but I still feel that I have to bring it to attention again.
I've completely stopped playing tournaments, because the fact that participants are spread across wide apart timezones put way too much on my scheduling.
Been thinking about specific tournaments per continent, or even per timezone.
What's your thoughts about that?
Cheers, and thx to the admins for setting this forum up!
Have a great weekend,
Thomas, from Amtoft, Nordjylland
