Last night I played a tournament match online and lost freakish games. One was a double 6 rolled against a 5 point prime with 3 checkers on the ace point. Yeah, I lost that game. Later I had a checker closed out except for an open 2 point and a blot on the 8 point. He rolled 26. Yep, lost that one. Anyway, here's a rather fun highlight from this freak show.

Not much can go wrong for X here, so I'd get greedy with the
banana split bar/22 5/3*, aiming to close out two (or more!)
of O's checkers.

As Tim said, the banana split. It garners more than twice the gammons that it gives up. Unfortunately I didn't see it at the time. Next time...
