Backgammon Blunder of the Week

This feature of Gammoned.com will include a big blunder that I make each week and describe where I went wrong, what I may have been thinking to go so wrong, what I should have done, and why I should have done it. This information will be bolstered by an analysis of the position by Snowie Pro 3 who plays a much stronger game than I. The types of blunders I will display here will be typical of a beginning to advanced player and hopefully we can all learn from my mistakes. Below you will find each of my more notable blunders and a brief description of the type of blunder it was. Check back often as I will attempt to update this page weekly.
