In Response To: A blunder... (Petter Bengtsson)

Double 5s is a roll that is obviously not easy to play under many circumstances. I can attest to that.

While the original position may have been a huge equity swing, it does require the ability to see a single checker traveling a great distance around the board. I am more impressed with my own 0.814 blunder the other day with a double 5.

I played 13/8 8/3(3).

Never even realized I could leap the 4-prime with 55 until I saw this monster in the analysis. Funny thing, my opponent insisted the next day that he never noticed either.

Match to 13, Blue leads 6-5
Blue to play 5-5
