2012 Leuven Open Backgammon: final. Interesting annotations.

Johan Segers, member of the team that won the Belgian Interclub 2012, reached the final because he won all five previous rounds (swiss system). Michel Lamote, winner of last year's edition, fought his way here via a play-off against Marius Hentea. This match is annotated by Michel (Black Speech Bubbles on the right hand side) he shared these insights before looking at computer analysis. I added annotations based on gnubg 4-ply (www.gnubg.org). You will see that gnubg and Michel don't always agree. There are interesting learning point throughout this video, and a fascinating backgame. This match is to 7 points. The time control is bronstein system with 12 minutes in the bank and 12 seconds per move. Johan is on the left and Michel on the right. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoDNl6fxqh4 for a second round match. The tournament took place in the University Pool & Snooker, Naamsesteenweg 253 Heverlee(Leuven) in Belgium. Thanks to the tournament sponsors http://www.marchand.be and mr. Soltani. Thanks to the chess club Leuven Centraal for lending us their clocks. Thank to Michel for providing the annotations.
