In Response To: matchplay cube decisions (Timothy Chow)

I think Stanley is correct here. Black has 15 numbers that crack immediately, and White should do well in those, with outfield control. If Black does not crack immediately, this may happen further down the line. White has a prime of its own, and may improve that; black has three checkers back and no outfield flexibility.
