In Response To: matchplay cube decisions (Chuck Bower)

The key here is Brown is five away. The effective take point reduces substantially if your opponent is five away. At money, opponent four away, or opponent six away, this would be a pass. At five away, this is a take. While developing my cubing tables, I have noticed this five away phenomenon that I really cannot explain.

Bob Koca, I told you that there was thought and experience dedicated to my tables. My method is not as sophisticated as others. Yet, it is developed with care.
