A few months ago I started trying to master match play and am still struggling to figure out when and how to adjust my checker play according to the score. Below is a position where my judgment went badly wrong.

The score (after 0 games) is: gnubg 2, tchow 3 (match to 7 points)

gnubg	148
tchow	147

      • Money with or without Jacoby?

  • Rollouts: This seems to be a very subtle position!
