Kamil Fatih Dilaver was 53,72% - 46,28% favorite.

He was lucky but played better then me so his win is just ok. very rare that my cubeplay is better then my checkerplay.

Most interessting Positions during the match:

first and very classic blunder of him :) he is a nonrisk taker. -140 equityloss

right move 8/4 6/4

_______________________________________________________________________

a blunder i do so often lately. i need to get rid of not moving out of the house in time.

right move 21/15 6/3

________________________________________________________________________

a blunder i dont understand. why the hell i am loosing -0.170 equity here ?

whats the big difference to be on 24 or 23 with my checker in his house ? my thought was not to get hitted with a double 6. well he may hit anyway from 12 with double 6 but then i still would have a window with 2/5.

if i am on 23 then he hits from 17 and close the 18 from 12. well i am wrong but i dont know why.

right move bar/23 6/4

___________________________________________________________________________

double and moveblunder. well, clear double. he is big favorite but a lucky roll of me could turn it.

but the move is interessting. i would have moved the same or maybe 14/20 which would have been an even bigger blunder. equityloss -0.095

right move 16/14 16/12 that offering 2 shots is the better option is interessting

____________________________________________________________________________

similar to his blunder a blunder of me. equityloss -0.106

right move 20/14 16/13 i really wonder why. this opens so many disasterrolls. like 11 31 or 33 additional 63 64 66 could end bad

Moraly i beat him :) but well ... its backgammon and not chess

Most interessting Positions during the match:

interessting that this is a blunder... could lead to a blitz

right move 22/21 6/1 .. equityloss -0.098

_____________________________________________________________

with this blunder he most proper missed a gammon

right move 8/2(2) 7/1(2) .. equityloss 0.084

_________________________________________________________________

very interessting position. Ardas choice was a blunder. it was the second choice even there are several

possibilitys with lesser equityloss. if someone could explain to me why a move with higher equityloss can be the better option i would be happy to listen.

the right move here looks very dangerous. i wouldnt have done either

                    1. option 24/20 24/23

ardas choice 2. option 8/3 equityloss -0.085

                    3. option 8/4 6/5 equityloss -0.023

                    4. option 24/20 6/5 -0.030

                    5. option 13/8 -0.050 (would have been my choice propably)

________________________________________________________________________________

i was very unsure here. its nearly allways a blunder when i dont close the 5. 

but yeeehaaa i was right :)

_________________________________________________________________________________

i was a bit anxious moving out here. getting hittet and maybe dance. but wow ... i loose -0.126 equity and drop from slight favorit to big unfavor in the game.

right move 24/15 (+0.013)

_______________________________________________________________________________

but ardas next move equalized my mistake before :) the blunder is more obviouse and easier to understand.

a loss of -0.121 equity

 

right move 24/23 11/10 8/7(2)

_______________________________________________________________________________

interessting how much euqity you loose not moving out of the house in time. loss -0.123 this was the 3th blunder during 4 moves ;) and still he wins the game ... grrrrr

right move 22/17 11/7

______________________________________________________________________________

basicshool ... splitting the 24 is importend ! loss -0.145

right move 24/22 13/8

_______________________________________________________________________________

this blunder suprised me. i would have done the same. 3 open stones in my house gives a good opportunity for gammon. but analize say he loose -0.123 equity. i did a big rollout on the position because i couldnt believe but the result didnt changed.

right move 16/15 7/2

______________________________________________________________________________

finally something very rare :) ardas double a blunder and my drop a blunder

correct decission no double/take

interessting match

Favorite
Richard Lukas was 60.26% - 39.74% favorite.

Fianlly a good playing opponent so i thought. And suddenly i play better. Advanced on the border to professional. But the funny thing is that he didnt played good at all. He played much worse then all others.

An upmost unbelievebel match. I reached a new record of minusluck. So far my reconrd was -37 which many people couldnt belive it is possible. But this time i made it to a luckrate of  -45.7 !!!!

Loosing 0 -7 as 60% favorite tells everything anyway.

There was just nothing interessting in this match to point out. A perfect first Game with no error. But 2 antijoker after a blunder from Gultekin. Second game also nearly perfect. one litte unimportend error. Biggest mistake was to double as it was too good to double but he took the cube anyway. 

Only in the third game a had my one and only blunder i this match. Fortuna really hates me.

Favorite
Richard Lukas was 65.61% - 34.39% favorite.

My classic weakness when playing a weak player. i play awful myself. finally i won with a luckrate of -2.3 but an errorrate of 16 is unacceptable bad.

Most interessting Positions during the match:

Allready at my second move i start my first high value blunder. I think many of us would have played like this and it dont look so bad to me. But rollouts dont lie, i loose 0.155 equity here.

right move is 13/8

__________________________________________________________________

This is a very interessting situation. My first thought was to close the 3. But looking deeper in the position i saw some disasterrolls and i was right. It would have been a equityloss of 0.531 !! There are 11 better moves then this. Would you have seen them ? Unfortunate the right move did not came to my mind. I played the second best option which is allready a blunder of 0.164 equity loss.

here the right thing to do

______________________________________________________________________________

This dont happen often if at all before. a high value blunder with my first move.

equityloss of 0.190

I thought about the right move but thought hitting is stronger.

Right move 13/11(2) 6/4(2)

___________________________________________________________________

Finally i won as the better player but i was very close to loose it with playing just half that good as normal.

Favorite
Richard Lukas was 54.56% - 45.44% favorite.

again such disagreement inbetween snowie and XG. however this match was a contest of wrong doubledecissions.

interessting positions in the Match:

allready in peepadvantage i thought running here is better then closing my house behind my opponents checkers but its a big blunder. 

0.166 equity i loose with this move.

7/3 6/3 is the right move

________________________________________________________

right the next move aysun present back what i gave before with a extraordinary big blunder.

hitting here is a must but that she loose 0.411 equite still suprised me.

right move 13/11 6/5

___________________________________________________________

this was the only right double i did in this match ending up in a drop blunder.

Aysun still have a 25% chance to win this game. and the gammondanger is just 2%

a double 5 or double 6 and she is favorite. also i could have troubles to save my stones from 13.

____________________________________________________________________

this blunder of Aysun is noteworthy. i would have done the same move.

equityloss 0.109

right move 24/21 20/14

____________________________________________________________________

why ever this is a blunder. in similar situation it was a big blunder not to hit for Aysun before.

 -0.147  equity

right move 13/8 24/23

___________________________________________________________________

lets start the cubecontest. Aysuns second cubeblunder

right action: double/drop

2 moves later my turn with my first cubeblunder
i am just 2 pips in front. interessting it is a blunder. i guess she would have taken the cube.

right action: double/drop

__________________________________________________________________

my second cubeblunder. i thought it is too good to doulbe. i saw a good chance to get another checker during the next 2 rolls. 

right action: double/take

_________________________________________________________________

end of the contest with my 3th double mistake

too good to double. i actually didnt see a big gammonchance here so i doubled.
