There are two reasons why gnubg doesn't complain for every move :

- sometimes, like for instance move 13, the error cost is very small. Gnubg highlights only relatively significant mistakes (you can change the thresholds with Settings|Analysis|Skill thresholds).

- sometimes, like the last 10 moves, the trailer should play on for a possible gammon rather than cash for one point.

Forgot to mention that the software even categorizes "You" as a casual player in the "Cube decisions" tab. Instead, a comment should explain why it is always advantageous to double in this particular situation.

In the attached Jellyfish match file, player "You" forgot doubling in the post-Crawford game #3, when the opponent was 1-away. When GNU Backgammon analyzes the match, it complains every now and then that "You" should have doubled. Shouldn't it complain in every single round? Beyond the shadow of a doubt, that was a missed double.

Cheers,
Guido
