OMG, it's so disappointing how rude people are, talking while you're presenting. If I were you, I'd just stop talking until everyone shut up. Fun quiz! Thank you!

[@TakhteNard]

Congrats Amir and thank you Mochy. Difficult for me honestly.

[@alex324ization]

Thank's for sharing and for your dedicated time.

Excellent problems! It's worth mentioning that in Problem 7, if White had slightly less timing, then 24/23* would be the DMP play (though it might still lose too many gammons for money).

I had 0 right 😂 and looking at the amount of equity lost, in an average 9 point match, considering no other errors or blunders whatsoever in checker plays and cubes, I played 24.3 PR😂 not disappointed at ALL 😅

Never mind, they are all rare quiz positions. It doesn’t reflect your true understanding of ordinary games :)

Very good presentation but the camera should stay on the board while Mochy is explaining what's going on on the board.

few years ago i find out on JBS forum thread about building perfect computer for rollouts and cant find this.... Mochy-san do you remember this post/thread?

[@ctsirkass]

Except the no-double/take and the 5/4*/1 everything else felt really close and it was a challenging quiz. I scored 5/8 but I feel I could easily have scored less (or more! :) ).

[@pierreas69]

Question 3 I can’t agree Trust our prime. Run from the anchor

[@jgeorgiou3307]

The correct answer for question 8 was B not A as chorused by the audience 😂

Понимание игры - это не более 10%.Главное в этой игре - это интуиция и везение. Компьютерные программы в этой игре - это вообще бред!Программа показывает только сильные ходы за обоих соперников, но выигрывает всегда только кто-то один.
