In Response To: matchplay cube decisions (Casper van der Tak)

I see what you're saying but most "cracking" numbers still leave Yellow with three checkers stuck behind a five-prime and facing a five-point board if hit. If Yellow had only two checkers trapped on the ace point then I could see taking. That extra checker makes a difference to Yellow's priming ability as well as the gammons. Anyway, it will be interesting to see the rollout. I hope Chuck will consider rolling it out at the modified scores that Stanley mentioned.
