I haven't been playing backgammon for a while, I've noticed. So, today I connected to FIBS to see what's the up and up. I have a "friends" list on there... most of them are "bots" too since they're always available - except when they're playing a 15-pt match or something with someone else, of course.
What's interesting though is that someone actually recommended me on FIBS. Cool. That must be the guy who was surprised that I came back to continue our match. That was, oh, a long time ago. lol!
See, I got disconnected in the middle of our game so I had to sign back in. He was still there and I immediately invited him to continue our saved match. He accepted and I told him that I got disconnected and that I was sorry. He said that it was OK and that he got up to get coffee, assuming that I was a dropper. So he was really surprised to see me back on. I think I won that match too, by the way. He was nice.
I should've added him to my friends' list but I haven't seen him around after that. Oh well.
Anyway, most of the bots were busy so I went to the "Ready" players' window that listed who was ready to play... duh. I saw that this one expert bot was there - I didn't add that one to my 'friends' because I was scared of it (!) - and since I wanted to play already, I invited it to a one-point game. And I won! yay!
Though it's been said that most of the time, the reason why beginners win against these expert or advanced bots in backgammon is when they play low-point matches because the cube's not in play. That's the doubling cube, but the way. lol!
OK, back to work. TGIF!
