what an awful performance. my usual weakness when playing an intermediate opponent my performance goes down to intermediate too. i need to work on this problem intensiv. Or was his charming beautyful girlfriend sitting beside him disracting me ? :)

Most interessting positions during the match:

His first Blunder. ignoring rule number one of backgammon. "close the 5"
equity loss -0.130
correct move 13/10(2) 8/5(2)
________________________________________________________________________
really interessting ! equity loss of -0.254 !!!! i thought the block in front of him is pretty strong.
 getting hitted on 13 didnt looked so dangerous to me. well ... the next roll 5/1 with following dancing teached me the danger :)
correct move bar/20 7/1
_________________________________________________________________________
a joker and he dont use it proper. sitting on 22 could end very bad. also he could prevent that i take the 1 spot which can be unconfortable at bear off. equity loss -0.150
correct move 22/20 11/9 3/1(2)
__________________________________________________________________________
i wonder that this is not a bigger equity loss. looks a very bad blunder to me.
 equity loss -0.081. of course he should try to position himself for the 1 spot.
correct move 22/16 11/6
________________________________________________________________________
i would have done the same. i see no reason why he should take the risk of getting hitted with a 6/1
its anyway a gammon for sure if i cant hit him. but analize say blunder. equity loss -0.087

correct move 7/5
________________________________________________________________________
i catched him and the game turned totally to my favor. but i misjudged the situation and thought it is too good to double. but the gammonchance was just 13% therefor it was a blunder not to double.
correct decision double/take
________________________________________________________________________
a fatal blunder which cost me the game :( equity loss -0.135. first of all i again should have doubled but i still worked towards a possible gammon therefor i didnt moved away from 2.
correct move 24/18 2/1
__________________________________________________________________________
a very hugh final blunder from Yan. having the blot on 6 or 1 is the same risk. but with closing the 1 spot one more spot in his house would be closed and additional if hitted the chance of hitting more of his checkers is bigger if i can enter at 1. equity loss -0.278 !!!
but lucky him i didnt rolled a 1 and he won the game
correct move 12/6 3/1
________________________________________________________________________
very bad blunder at beginning of the next game. i dont know why i did this. of course closing the 4 is the strongest move. and as usual it got punished emeaditly with him rolling 5/3
correct move 6/4(2)
________________________________________________________________________
standard rules of backgammon. 4 spot is more valuable the 7 spot. equity loss -0.137
similar mistake i did before.
correct move 10/4 6/4
______________________________________________________________________
a very hugh joker moved as very hugh blunder. equity loss -0.228
correct move 24/21(2) 6/3(2)
_______________________________________________________________________
he is wasting material here to close his house. equity loss -0.147
 correct move 7/6 7/4
_______________________________________________________________________
dangerous situation. he needs to slow down not to get in danger being forced to open a blot before me.
equity loss -0.105
correct move 7/2 6/2
________________________________________________________________________
with a 70% winchance i should have doubled here. why ever i didnt :( it look a very clear double to me when i look at it now.
correct decision double/take
_________________________________________________________________________
a very dangerous blunder which created a interessting position. equity loss -0.118. i though if i hit i have a very good chance for gammon and if i dont hit i most proper loose the game. therefor i didnt doubled which was the wrong decision. gammonchance was just 24% and right decision would have been double/drop
correct move 18/13 9/6

finally he won the match. not a very deserved win but "i deserved to loose" with playing so bad.
