Trivia: During casting, American actor James Brolin was almost given the role of James Bond when at the last moment, Roger Moore agreed to play Bond again. Moore had originally intended to retire after For Your Eyes Only, but following the announcement of the rival Bond production Never Say Never Again, the producers persuaded Moore to continue in the role in the belief that the established actor would fare better against Sean Connery.
Trivia: When Bond bends metal bars surrounding a window, after weakening them with acid, a brief musical cue of the theme from "Superman" (1978) can be heard.





Answer: Bond (taking over for the Major) had 1 piece on point 2, 1 piece on point 3, and 2 pieces on point 6. Rolling doubles in Backgammon means you get to make 4 moves instead of just 2, so he was able to remove all 4 pieces. If you have a piece on point 2, you don't have to roll a 2 to remove it. Anything higher than a 2 can be used to remove the piece. Kahn even says Bond has to roll a double 6 in order to win, which he does.
