At least one win this weekend even i again did not played really good. Was not my day.

I dont know how valid the analize of Vedats play is because he did 2 illegal moves (both to his unfavor) which may corrupt the result. Once he played 3 times 2 at a double 2. and once he moved over my checker with a double 3 and didnt took out my checker. i told him after the game and he didnt believed me. But i have videoproof :)

Most interessting Positions during the match:

3 blunders in a raw ! What a success. With them i messed up my expert rating.

This blunder is interessting. I even would like to disagree. Does it make sense to argue with a rollout ?

I guess not. I feared the double 5 here which could end up badly in a gammon therefor i moved away from 22

but 8/6 would be the right move. difference -0.095

_________________________________________________________________________

Just the next move i did a blunder again. It didnt looked so bad to me to keep the checker on the 5. A roll 5/1 or 5/3 would be not good but if he comes in with 2 or 3 i am in pretty good position.

however 13/7 5/4 is the right move. difference -0.080

_________________________________________________________________________

and the third... grrrrr

What a disaster roll. I didnt see any alternativ moves here but its a blunder again.

The right move here looks really insane.

Would anybody of you have done this ? the equiditydifference is -0.191

_____________________________________________________________________

Two in one. A checker and cube blunder.

I thought too good to double. a good chance to hit 2 checkers or hit and close the 2

both looks pretty good for a gammon but not to double was a blunder. -0.105

of course non of the many good rolls where coming but still i saw a good chance for gammon and the risk to hit the 2 looked reasonable. also i keep the pressure and may be able to hit on 21.

but all my thougts was pretty wrong... a really big blunder -0.492
