Wins 8 points and the match
Well it's easy to get a low error rate on a short match, when all the rolls are obvious plays. My error rate on long matches is atrocious. Top professional players consistently score excellent low error rates, even on long matches. Another point worth mentioning is that a low error rate does not mean "you played better" than your opponent. Unlike games like chess where you are engaged directly with you opponent, with backgammon, you are playing the random rolls that the dice give you. So it is possible for one player to get easy to play rolls while the opponent gets difficult decisions. So winning a game in backgammon, does not necessarily mean that you played better than your opponent.
