    I managed to lose a gammon from here to lose the match in this game.
    It's such an extreme bad luck event that, even if my opponent is a dice
    cheat who has switched dice to guarantee a 66 on every roll, I'm still
    a big favourite to save the gammon.

    No complaints over all be cause my match PR was 4.7 which makes
    me think I have prospects of becoming almost as good as Tim.
