I think that you had sent me that position! Should have learnt it.

Here was the reference I was using:

	is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 141 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 157 score: 0 is Player 1
XGID=-b----E-C---eF-----b-bb-bA:0:0:-1:00:0:0:3:0:10
on roll, cube action?

I knew this was a big pass.

I thought that the two extra checkers in the zone was huge.

I knew that the defensive 5-point was huge but otb thought that it was not enough to swing it.

Obviously there are other factors (3rd checker back, 1346 board etc) but these seemed to me to be the really big ones.

A good lesson in relative adjustments.

Better go and play now - my second round starts in 30 minutes...
