In Response To: The Michael Edge/Al Faller Positions and Sequence (Bill Riles)

The position is right, the sequence is more or less right but slightly off.

The score (after 0 games) is: White 8, Blue 5 (match to 9 points, post-Crawford play)

White	121
Blue	126
Position ID: 2G4nAiC2bQMAOA Match ID: QQkrAYAAKAAA

Al rolls 26 and plays 24/22, then counts out the number of pips required to leap the prime...1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 22/16. After setting this up he puts it back and plays 7/1*.

Michael fans.

Al rolls 16 and plays 24/23 7/1.

White	122
Blue	118
Position ID: 2G4nAkBt2wIAMg Match ID: QQknAYAAKAAA

Al rolls a 6-X and plays the 22 checker somewhere into the outfield.

White	122
Blue	100
Position ID: 27ZBACjYbicCQA Match ID: AQEgAYAAKAAA

He then rolls a deuce and an ace in the course of playing the checker to his ace point.

White	122
Blue	90
Position ID: 2G4nAkC3bQMAKA Match ID: QQkrAYAAKAAA

He rolls 26 here and thinks about it but eventually settles on the forced play, 24/16.

White	122
Blue	82
Position ID: t20DEBDYbicCQA Match ID: AQEgAYAAKAAA

He rolls two different aces in the course of playing this checker to his ace point.

White	122
Blue	67

And here he rolls a 16 and wins a gammon for the match.
