FFM19 Game 4 result

[Julia_H]

Nothing spectacular happened and it became a straightforward race to save the gammon. Sadly for the Herd a couple of dances early on meant they fell two crossovers short. That means Christopher wins the match 5-2 - congratulations and welcome to the elite band who have taken on the Herd and beaten them. Hopefully you'll hang around and join us on this side of the board for the next match!

I've attached the .sgf file so you can all analyse away...

Well done Christopher, a right old drubbing for the Herd! And many thanks for all that hard work Julia, much appreciated.

Thanks Julia:  I ran the match through ExtremeGammon and the herd outplayed me and I got lucky.

Thanks for doing this; to all of you.

Match stats:
Fairly even play, with the herd outplaying Chris by a small amount.  Major luck difference, but that's the nature of the game.

Congratulations to Chris and thanks to everyone for participating.
