Title: Game 3 - the finsh
Post by: ah_clem on November 14, 2010, 09:41:40 PM
I'm going to play this out with gnu, and if any interesting decision points arise, I'll pause for a vote or to ask Z what he wants to do.

We roll 6-2 and the obvious move is 4/off 4/2.

Z rolls 6-2 and he moves two checkers into his homeboard.

We roll a 3-1 and take two more off.  Zorba needs to roll a couple of doubles, and time is running out.

Z rolls 3-1 and takes off two. 

This is turning into an oddly efficient bear-in.  Neither side is missing.

We roll a 3-2, but it doesn't matter.  Z can't possibly win from this position.  Game over.

The Herd wins a single game and 2 points.
The score (after 3 games) is: Zorba 0, The Herd 4 (match to 5 points, Crawford game).



Final position
