Blunders galore...

I would normally not make such a mistake but I was playing carelessly this day and I had something of a flaw in the way I percieved the position. I somehow mistakenly imagined that the second play would result in both back checkers coming out to the bar point while making the home board point. Ofcourse one checker is still buried behind that huge prime in the bad play by the time i hit and made the home point i forgot about the back checker still left behind, and finished the move. A double roll can lure us into erros because we dont take time to consider all the increased possible moves.
This is where you will notice the diff between top players and amateurs. The top players always pause and think before they make a play on a double roll.
