Vinnie - Very nice board, although you are correct that the stock cube is an abomination. Nice replacement with the Katgammon cube. Your play is a bit off, after running it through XG. A slight error to not split Black's back checkers on their first move with the 5-2. Also, it's not a cube after Black's 5-1, but it is a massive Take for Black! Almost a .500 blunder to Pass. Cube theory and pratice is certainly the most difficult and intriguing part of the game, for me. I hope to meet you in person at a tournament sometime. Cheers!
What a pity, to have all these issues (Cube, deformed checkers…) with a BGBoard at this price level 🙀 May that be a reason why I stick with @wycliffe brothers boards, as for their price I didn’t expect that much-but it was a huge surprise in terms of colour, materials and quality. A beautiful piece though- Hope it has you some nice games over time Greetings from #vienna 😽 #backgammoncat
