Rocki is happy for me to post this to discuss whether or not he was robbed blind Logged Never give up on the things that make you smile FIBS Board backgammon forum Position for your thoughts Herd... « on: July 17, 2010, 10:51:28 AM » stog Administrator Advanced Fibsboarder Posts: 1,853 don't roll your dice in the sand Re: Position for your thoughts Herd... « Reply #1 on: July 17, 2010, 11:06:37 AM » Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

White is within a pip or two of it being a "racing double" (i.e. a double if it were a straight race). But it's not a race and White has 12 rolls that are pretty devastating (any double, or the pick-and-pass numbers). That additional 33% to win this roll should push it over the edge.Is White ahead? yup. Are there market losers? You bet! Ship the cube.Blue has some chances, so I think it's a take.

I was so hard trying to see what is the score and match length (I even had to adjust my resolution to do so) that I didn't notice that the cube was already on 2.
