In Response To: Stick's Matches from Novi (Dmitriy Obukhov)

Thanks for posting these as I haven't had time to do the rollouts and post them myself yet. CMC should take a look at my match with Harold to see some of the more extreme adjustments that should be made with cube play that can definitely sky rocket one's PR. I am not claiming this is the reason why my personal PR is higher OtB than online, there are many contributing factors, one of which is this. Each match would need to be taken on a case by case basis. As I said about Ray's matches in the past and I'll say about my own now, if you can't make up any good excuse for the error/blunder then it's just an error. There is no magical formula behind most checker play errors, they're just the player being a donkey. With the cube there is a lot more give and take where you will really will need to crush your own PR if you're playing to maximize your winning chances.

I should take the time to mention too that because I'm playing Neil Kaz or Falafelfish that also does not mean I should be making the same decisions as XG recommends v. XG. The bot does not give you the correct play for equal player v. equal player, it gives you the correct play for XG v. XG.

My article this month on Gammonvillage which will be released soon actually uses a lot of the cube decisions from that match.
