Roger: Backgammon? You know I don't like to play backgammon. Andy: What's wrong with backgammon? Roger: There's too much luck involved. I prefer games that showcase my brainpower and skill without random chance affecting the outcome. You know, like chess. Andy: Fine. Let's play chess. Checkmate! That's what? Four games in a row? Roger: On second thought, let's play backgammon.
