In Response To: Rollout: Six-primed #5 (Timothy Chow)

Thanks for those who provided additional comments. I hadn't thought about the 55 root number.

I rolled out a few variants below (before seeing the additional comments) in order to test the theory that White's extra checker in the zone matters. At first I thought that these variants provided partial confirmation of that theory, but looking at them again, I think that they what they actually demonstrate is the importance of root numbers.
