I think the answer to the quiz is double tiger because that was the lesson about :) Guess if we hit only 6/5* he can still enter and make his 5 point. We double hit to stop him...
In the first position, you explain at 3:50 that the reason the double tiger play is good is because of the cube. But then I gave the opponent ownership of the cube in XG and the safe play of 13/8 became a sligtly *bigger* error, and double hit is still top play. Confused. At 10:10 you said you'd put the answer to the riddle in the video description, but I can't find it there.
It's because it's a D/P after the double tiger play. When the opponent owns the cube, you can also be more aggressive to maximise gammons. I spoke about this in the recent Cube Ownership video. I'll add the right play to video description.
Nice video - thanks. In the last example I reckon we will have to double hit because otherwise almost all of the opponents non-doubles either hit or make their own 5 point (or both). I think possibly only 6-3 fails to do either. NB (trivia) At 2:34 you refer to a single hit as a "single tiger" but I think in Super Michy World that would be a double hit with one checker ("a double hit is tiger play"). The double tiger is then the double hit with two checkers.
Thanks for watching, Pez. The hit at 2.34 on the right is just a single hit on one checker. Michy doesn't use the term 'single tiger' but I have heard the triple tiger' similarly used jokingly in commentary.
PROBABLY THE COOLEST NAMED BG MOVE :)
Agreed
Great video! I refer to the book often. I think the play is double tiger as green is threatening to make both 5 points? 🎲👍🎲
You're correct :)
