Okay, I do use undo. Of the first 811 games I played, I lost 7. Since then I have won 742 games and lost none. I like to play each game and undo until I win. I think I may have undone back to the beginning at least 10 times on occasion.

I play it on AARP games, but it’s not my favorite. I prefer backgammon, which I win nearly 100% of the time against the computer.
