Sergio Scarpetta - Ron King 2019 World Championship Match, 32 games, Oct. 10-18. The games below were labelled GAYP. They were 3-Move.

I just read on the most recent Mr. Checkers YouTube video that Sergio is ahead 7-1 after 18 games. Wow. Here are three of the games that I recorded by watching the videos:
