In Response To: Whenever I found a difficult position, I post here! (Mochy)

There are certainly other combinations that reach this position and possibly even a shorter sequence but the one in the Subject line came to me immediately so I thought I'd put some Nactation in the thread in case Nack was otherwise sleeping and we wanted to wake him.

I'm sure at least 99.9% of bg players OtB run here and I'm part of that group. Answering the 3 main questions you're basically answering every time you face a checker play problem we have:

  1. Which play wins more single games? - Running I'd say here.
  2. Which play wins more gammons? - Making the 2pt obviously.
  3. Which play loses more gammons? - I'm not entirely sure but I'd guess making the 2pt.

If you can make accurate estimates in the difference in those numbers you can make the right play all day long. It's not as hard as it seems. I have zero confidence in running since you posted it but OtB I know I wouldn't have been able to make the 2pt.
