In Response To: Nack asked if XG makes slightly unsound shifts and multiple slots (Timothy Chow)

Good example which illustrates Nack's conjecture. Here the multiple slots may have enticed the blunder. That will make the multiple slots look better than it should, even in a RO.

"For example, it might sometimes make less bold plays than it should for the opponent that don't take full advantage of the player's temporarily compromised board.)"

Did you mean to say more bold plays than it should instead of less bold plays? It might also make less bold plays but your example is one of an overly bold play.
