I have this unsubstantiated theory that many who play backgames and defend against them screw up the checkers (not to mention the cube) at some point in the course of the game. For example, I misplayed this 31.

		White is Michel1 score: 1 pip: 189 5 point match pip: 148 score: 2 Blue is peever

Blue to play 31
