So trying to improve the timing for the 1-3 back game costs too many gammons.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10472011-12-22T11:21:01.613+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1047Added from chlh: Timing is very bad, gammons are meaningless (one-pointer) so trying to improve the timing has top priority. So either 8/4* 3/2* (three blots in the home board) or 6/2* 5/4* (four blots in the home board) are the best moves. Making the 8-point and hoping to prime the opponent will not often enough work out.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10462011-10-14T11:12:53.32+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1046Added from chlh: I did not find that move and was really surprised how big the difference to the next best move is (blunder).http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10452011-08-30T10:31:24.447+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1045Added from chlh: Seems very import not allow establishing a well timed backgame, but can it be right to relinquish the 3 point? I am not absolutely convinced.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10442011-06-26T19:14:00.55+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1044Added from trebein: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10432011-06-26T19:07:55.093+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1043Added from trebein: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10422011-06-17T12:13:08.5+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1042Added from chlh: This position comes up after the sequence 1.: 4-2,6-3 2.:5-2. Now you have a 5-3 to play. I found this very interesting, because the 3 candidate moves: 1) escape (18-10) 2) make the five and 3) make the 3 all look very good and as it turns out they are all very close together. I assume this would change if this would not be a DMP game.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10412011-06-07T13:09:04.667+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1041Added from chlh: Between the alternatives 13/11 13/7 and 13/7 24/22, for me it looks natural to split the back checkers and not to strip the midpoint. But it must be to dangerous to split the back checkers and give white the opportunity to start an attack.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10402011-04-23T15:21:41.2+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1040Added from chlh: 6-5 is really an ugly roll, the move suggested by XG 10/4 10/5* keeps the prime an plays for the best inside points.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10392011-04-11T11:42:21.55+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1039Added from chlh: There are many good sequences (like make another point and dance) after that white cannot take any more, so you have clear market looser. On the other hand white can afford to take with black having many blots.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10382011-04-07T11:27:21.827+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1038Added from chlh: Most of the times it is right to make the five point in the early stages of the game. Here making the nine and hitting loose on the three wins.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10372011-04-05T17:53:16.033+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1037Added from chlh: Sometimes making a careless move like 13/12* 12/9 can make a really big difference.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10362011-03-27T12:09:53.9+02:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1036Added from admin: Should you run or make an inner point? Pointing leaves only 5-3, 6-2 and 5-5 as return hits, nevertheless running and getting home seems more important, I did not find that :(http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10352011-02-06T22:35:16.033+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1035Added from ElCapitan: This was a position I encountered playing iGammon (v4.2). The tutor wanted me to play 10-5 when I wanted to play 13-10 6-4. I didn"t agree with tutor and played my move. The 10-5 is a blunder by iGammon at sixth position (so does not show here) with equity 0,715. But I was surprised that roll out showed one move almost equal (8-3) and one an error worth of equity better (13-11 13-10). I found them very aggressive. And looking at the numbers these moves are more GG-ish while the 13-8 move wins the most games (w/ less gammons) namely 65,44% and seems more GS-ish.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10342011-01-10T11:03:40.597+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1034Added from chlh: Making the 3-point is clear, and switching from the 4-point to the 1-point prevents white from making the 1-point anchor.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10332011-01-02T11:50:17.63+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1033Added from chlh: Looks a bit strange to hit with the last spare from the six point, but is clearly best.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10322011-01-02T11:45:30.51+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1032Added from chlh: The position is already to strong to take.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10312010-12-16T10:41:04.557+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1031Added from admin: With a borad and race advantage and an akward distribution for white you should double.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10302010-12-16T10:38:43.097+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1030Added from admin: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10292010-12-08T10:17:59.87+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1029Added from chlh: This position came up in a doubles match in Thun. The players hit on the one point and came down 13/11. The positional play is much better.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10282010-11-23T08:04:16.78+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1028Added from pan_bg: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10272010-11-16T12:19:08.527+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1027Added from admin: Not hitting the second checker is a serious error. Looks more dangerous as it actually is.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10262010-11-10T10:26:43.977+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1026Added from chlh: This position came up in a match I played against XG. XG played 20/12 (2), a move I did not like very much, so after the match I checked the moves, the move I would have probably played, 24/8 was not even in the list of the top 32 moves, so to get this result I had to manually enter the move.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10252010-11-04T08:01:27.653+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1025Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10242010-11-04T07:30:44.54+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1024Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10232010-11-04T07:30:01.733+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1023Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10222010-11-04T07:13:40.633+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1022Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10212010-11-04T06:41:33.477+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1021Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10202010-11-04T06:40:50.047+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1020Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10192010-11-04T06:32:53.45+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1019Added from nori: see 1018 too.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10182010-11-04T06:17:56.487+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1018Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10172010-11-04T06:15:28.323+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1017Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10162010-11-04T05:57:20.21+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1016Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10152010-11-04T05:51:47.093+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1015Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10142010-11-04T05:43:16.133+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1014Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10132010-11-02T06:03:55.343+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1013Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10122010-11-02T06:03:39.177+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1012Added from nori: Hit to remove anchoring chance or not.http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10112010-11-02T05:53:07.85+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1011Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10102010-11-02T05:51:52.353+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1010Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10092010-11-02T05:44:26.93+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1009Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10082010-11-02T05:43:30.087+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1008Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10072010-11-02T05:26:59.13+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1007Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10062010-11-02T05:22:10.82+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1006Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10052010-11-02T05:17:09.89+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1005Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10042010-11-02T05:08:47.63+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1004Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10032010-11-02T05:05:14.707+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1003Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10022010-11-02T05:04:10.79+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1002Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10012010-11-02T05:03:30.843+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1001Added from nori: http://www.checkerplay.com/position/10002010-11-02T04:56:53.073+01:00http://www.checkerplay.com/position/1000Added from nori:
