In Episode 7, we’re going to take a look at the first half of a 7-point match. It’s a longer match than we’ve seen so far, and longer matches have the potential for more lopsided scores and more extreme doubling situations. In these first three games, Black took an early lead with some great rolling and good cube action. White, however, kept his cool and didn’t fall into the trap of getting desperate and tossing around loose cubes.
