I like Chuck post before a week ago about this and compile some answers and add one more from WT and paraphrase Stick maxim on same theme.

"We completely miss seeing/considering an 'obvious' play which results in a multi-whopper error tag. Any suggestions on how to prevent these?"

Chuck Bower

"Before deciding on a non-trivial checker play or cube action, ask yourself if, to the best of your ability, you're sure what you're doing is correct. Forcing yourself to take a 2nd look at the position should help you avoid some of these oversights."

John O'Hagan

"There is a famous chess maxim that applies just as strongly to backgammon: When you spot a good move, look around for a better move."

Walter Trice

"When I find obvious hitting play I find best non hitting play and compare both plays."

Stick Rice

"I typically overlook a really good play for a pretty good play so I've trained myself to keep looking even when I find something I like."
