[Double Ice]

First off I would like to say that I am world class backgammon player (atleast I was - haven't played BG in years), with a very good (low) error rate playing a very long match against gnuBG.

Secondly, you will not find serious games or even amateur games of backgammon on Windows Live. I make the analogy that playing BG on that service is akin to playing poker for play money. There is no incentive to play correctly, and you will see players "call down" bets too much, the same way that play-money BG players will "call down" doubles too much.

So if you want good games, play a bot, or play on a service (such as truemoneygames.com ; [I am not an affiliate and have recieved no money from them.])

Finally, I couldn't understand the game in question, but you may want to analyze games by computer. There are often "dominating" situations where it is actually correct to accept a double because of the strong chance of being able to redouble.
