In Response To: Rollout: Which bar? #4 (Timothy Chow)

While reviewing Walter Trice's Gammon Village article on "Which bar point to slot?" I found the position below. Trice's Snowie rollout has bar/18 coming out 0.021 ahead of bar/24 13/7. Again it's a straggler vs. anchor position where Blue has the option of Pottling into a triple shot, but Blue is further ahead in the race and therefore has a greater incentive to race.

It would be interesting to see whether XG (or GNU 1.0) concurs with Snowie, though I don't plan to roll it out myself. If someone else has spare cycles, I welcome them to post a rollout.

Match to 7, Blue leads 1-0
Blue to play 61

White	149
Blue	137
