In Response To: Neil goes to BK in game 1 of the finals (neilkaz)

OTB for some reason I was seduced by my blots in my board and while the 4 prime looked great it is often hopped over and hard to followup I came up with a real lemon of a play clearing the 8 pt. Of course I took the cube, I have a take with almost any legal play as I can hit or win the race often enough to take, and lost easily.

The 4 prime here is key as I don't want White escaping. If he escapes, I can then cover up my home board and hope for a later hit.

Note that this rollout is mine combined with Stick's quickly and I do slight prefer 6/3 6/1 but the key is to keep the 4 prime and not worry about anything else.

The score (after 0 games) is: Bob Glass 0, Neil Kaz 0 (match to 13 points)

Move number 26: Neil Kaz to play 35

Pip counts: Bob Glass 92, Neil Kaz 118
Position ID: m+0MAgTKvQ0ADA Match ID: cIm1AQAAAAAA

• Neil Kaz moves 8/5 8/3
