I'd be interested to see people post their good luck and bad luck stories.
Today, I had a game where my winning chances against XG were
approx 1 in 100,000. I rolled miracle after miracle until the final roll
position where I just needed 44/55/66 to win, and then I failed.
It's funny the way I half expected to win when I got to being "only"
an 8% underdog.
That inspired me to ask for similar stories but they're not that interesting
unless the (good or bad) luck continues.

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I recently
played a game against XG where my first five rolls of the game
were all 31. Then I doubled XG out.

What was your PR for that game? (I'd guess 0.)

I don't remember, but I don't think it was zero---although it was almost
zero. I think there was one very close decision where I didn't pick
XG's preferred play. It might have been that XG thought I had a small
double on my penultimate turn.

You did well to miss that double. Then XG would have taken, and it would have
been much more challenging to win and also get a good PR.
