NOT a complaint - just a whine :-)

OK My last 40 games on I have a PR of 9.61 against all 6 of the eX players. I go up and down the line from Beginner to Champ. SADLY I'm 8-31 (no cube)

SIGH! Sorry but there is nobody I know of that will understand by whining and I had to get if off my chest.

Heck my last game was against "Beginner" and I had a 3.94 PR and was gammoned and I don't think the AI was even paying attention LOL

Forget about your results. The swings of good and bad luck in BG are extreme.

Concentrate instead on studying your errors, figuring out why the play you made was a mistake (sometimes an easy task, sometimes not so much) and incorporating what you learned into your play.

Be grateful you're learning the game today and not 45 years ago when tools like BG Galaxy and Extreme Gammon were not available.

At least back then one could just claim superior play and blame poor luck! Now I have pesky programs arguing with me when I choose an innovative play!

For sure - back in the 70s I never cared about the RIGHT move and was a winning player but probably against mostly Casual players - NOW winning is meaningless and it's all PR. 9.6 is OK with me and I've played better then my opponent 83% of the time an 8-33

Glad I'm not playing in a casino
