WTF Kind of Unlimited Game Is This?
According the analysis by GnuBg, I only made three errors in this practice game. Judging by the stacks you would have thought I played much worse.The Snowie ER of –4.94 would have been a lot lower if I had not sacrificed 0.18 on the double whopper I made in this position. The only other errors were a 0.025 checker error and a 0.030 recube error late in the game.
Getting back to the whopper at right, what’s your play?

I am still amazed that I got all stacked up without making beaucoup errors.The set of diagrams at right and below show the sequence. The first five positions immediately preceded the position at the top of this post. The last one immediately followed it.
You can see that I rolled a series of 5s and 7s. Not hitting, while piling on the ace point, was correct on every roll. After playing the final 61, I ended up with a remarkable position that featured 8 checkers on the 1pt, 6 checkers on the 6pt, and nothing in between.
My only explanation is the one in the subject: “It” Happens!
