The scientific approach to the game of backgammon. Part 3.

Why am I so sure? Because the Soviet version of backgammon game - it is an easier option. AG For those who are familiar with the rules of the game backgammon, please tell me, in a nutshell, what distinguishes Europe from the Soviet backgammon backgammon. BM The most important difference - the fact that European rules added another cube, doubling cube. Doubling dice, Dice of doubling, in my opinion, is called. His sense that's what. Cube to play backgammon first lies on the Ones and at any point in the game any of the participants can turn it into two. And the other - or just give up, or any future outcome of the game of backgammon doubles. At the same time the one who doubles, no longer is the host cube. If at the beginning of the cube is the common, the double cube is on the side of the one agreed - not the one who proposed to double, and the one agreed. And further, the game can backgammon quadrupling and so forth.
And at first, when I was first introduced to this rule (it was 5 years ago, when the Internet became widely available), then my first reaction was sharply negative, I even such examples are cited: plays, such as "Real Madrid" with "Barcelona "runs the judge and puts on a football field with a huge cube two. And "Barcelona" team players either agree, or run away from the field. But then I gradually realized that the analogy is still not so good, and did not even stand up to scrutiny. This innovation is very much in a good way, complicates the game of backgammon, that is different fineness, different nuances of the game of backgammon gives. That's the main difference.
