In Response To: The Donkey Corner #5 (Stick)

O.K., I'm ready to make good on my commitment to re-engage with BGO for at least a month, since Stick has started the Donkey Corner.

Looking briefly at the first four problems, I didn't like #1 so much because it's not so clearly a blunder when the skill difference is taken into account. I thought the others were pretty good, though. Stick, in #4, you neglected to mention what your OTB play was. I'm assuming you made the 1pt? Bill Calton's complaint seems to be predicated on the assumption that you played 13/8.

Anyway, for the present problem, I could easily see myself autopiloting 13/11 13/9, just trying to get home safely. However, going for the gammon with 10/8 9/5 is surely better since the risk is minimal.
