it’s hard to imagine backgammon catching on in the modern world without the excitement of a bouncing cube ratcheting up the stakes. But there was another factor at work, at least as important as the doubling
3-3, and 4-4, which is a solid plus. After the big doubles (6-6 and 5-5), the race goes in the crapper, so it’s an advantage to be able to anchor back on the 23-point rather than up on the 20-point.
