  • Lucky finish

    From Timothy Chow@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 28 23:39:37 2023
    It's common for people to complain about bots getting lucky rolls.
    In the position below, I was playing O against XG as X. I won this
    game by rolling 4 doublets in a row.

    Sadly, after getting a free drop in the next game, I lost at DMP.

    XGID=-GDC---A-------------adac-:0:0:-1:61:4:6:1:7:10

    Score is X:6 O:4 7 pt.(s) match.

    It's actually far more common for bots to complain about people getting
    lucky rolls.
    But no one knows about the bot complaints (except me) because they complain
    in secret.

    I take it that you, for one, welcome our new bot overlords.
