Hello, all.  I'm a beginner -- I've read Magriel so I know some strategy,
but have very little experience against good players -- and would like to 
find an opponent to play against on the backgammon server.  An N-point 
match would be preferable...  I'm usually around any time PM except Sunday
or Tuesday and Thursday evenings, Pacific time.  I'm trying to improve my
play so I'll play against any strength opponent.  If I get killed, it's only
ego points.  :-)

(I've tried hanging out on the server, but usually no one is there, and 
perhaps we can make this a regular thing...)

Oh, BTW, Andreas Schneider is second on my list of candidates for sainthood, 
right after Matthew Clegg (who wrote the Internet bridge program, OKBridge).
