(There might be some errors in the end but I don't think these moves are very important.)

And thanks for everybody taking part to the match.  Especially thanks for our opponent factotum. Luck was on forum's side this time.

Thanks for playing factotum, it has been very enjoyable 

[playBunny]

Yep, many thanks bltzxz and factotum. It's fun playing these matches.

Thanks to factotum for the match and to all for participating, especially the dice generator at the end. This was a very interesting exercise and mrroadkillbooks must be terrified at the prospect of playing against the amassed brainpower of this board.

[factotum]

Many thanks to blitzxz and zorba for running the show!  These matches are a great chance to talk backgammon.  I'm glad to see the forum has already found an new victim.

Thx all.  Thx for the opportunity to play the next match.  I had rolled out that situation several times and it never ended so nicely. Was that the only number which didnt hit? Well 55 misses also.

3-2, 5-2, 5-3 and 5-5 missed the shot. So 7/36 = 19,4 %. But then that 2-2 was lucky also. But that's backgammon.  

Overall stats would be great if anyone has them with rollouts since gnu was clearly wrong with that first double. If I exclude that it looks like that both factotum and forum played almost equally on advanced level.
