  • One of my games

    I played the game below at a PR of about 4 -- well above
    my average level.
    There were some interesting borderline TG decisions on my
    end, and I seem to have handled these excellently (though maybe
    not perfectly). It was an endgame when my gammon chances
    and losing chances were both small.
    I needed to cash at the end. Playing on at the end would have
    been a significant error.
    My cubing was better than my checker play.
