Costa Rica 1993, Wilcox Snellings at 4away 2away.

I just revisited one of my favorite matchbooks, „Backgammon Costa Rica 1993, Final Match: Wilcox Snellings vs. Mike Senkiewicz”. By the way, is there another book with comments from the players about their moves? The special coauthor wrote about the position below: “In my eyes, I consider this most controversial decision unsettled.” Checking the two major candidates analyzed in the book with a 1k 3ply RO, I have a near triple whopper margin. Wicox Snellings thought for 40 seconds about his play.

		White is Wilcox Snellings score: 11 pip: 146 15 point match pip: 107 score: 13 Blue is Mike Senkiewicz
