Gary Berger — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 04:15:28 +0000

Let me know how this goes!

The 50/50 Nature of the Rolling Backtake

Gary Berger — Sat, 07 Dec 2019 01:59:46 +0000

Over the last few years, I have won quite a few rolling backtake battles. All because of one reason. I understood the central micro battle in the transition, and that often led to opportunities to either reverse the backtake or at least kill the threat..
