Hi tom.
Have you tried Pontes backgammon from
http://www.pontes.ro/backgammon/help/index.php I admit I was rather
impressed by the game and in fact it's got me into playing backgammon which
i've not tried before (oddly enough, it's not as popular in England as you'd
think).
the many features of the Pontes game however, and indeed the game itself
very much impressed me. apart from various good sounds and board over view,
and a few fun options like choosing background ambience for the game,
playing the computer has been a good way for me to learn the game and
improve.
I can now always defeat the computer on Hard,and can win 50 percent of the
time against difficult. while I agree this is probab ly not as challenging
as it could be, sinse Pontes backgammon has the ability to play against
other people online, some of whome are very good there is always an option
to continue.
Pluss Manu is continually improving the game, he's just for instance added
mouse support and apparently is looking into adding graphics as well.
I'd deffinately recommend it, even if the computer isn't tough enough there
is always online play.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Quentin,
Cool! Isn't Reversi the same thing as Backgammon?
If so I'd definitely want to check that out. I haven't played a good
game of Backgammon in years, and I haven't found any accessible games
on par with mainstream Backgammon games.
Cheers!
