Some Great Play in Chicago

I've finished entering into Snowie all of my recorded matches from Chicago.

My two consolation matches involved two of the best matches (of decent length) played against me yet since I've been recording.

In these 9 point matches, Steve Sax played 1.6 in a ten game match and Ray Fogerlund played 2.8 in a six game match. These are 3 ply evaluations with no rollout refinements.

Kit Woolsey played a 2.5 against me in a Jersey City consolation match earlier this year -- 7 point, 7 game match.

I played just a bit higher -- laughing -- in each of these matches. But I won two of the three. You have to love backgammon.

Anyway, congrats to these guys for some superb play. It's great to get to play them, have some good matches, and learn a lot from their play.
