grenv: i am not sure if i would have been gammoned .. i had most of my pieces in my home .. i would have probably escaped when he opened his 5 and 6 position .. leaving me with an average number of about 5 or 6 rolls to bear 1 piece off

but there was still a chance

i wouldnt have doubled yet in his position .. as it would have wanted to see if i could be lucky for a gammon .. and i would not .. then i would double a bit later anyway
