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.
