In Response To: Is this typical? RO and the "deep thought" (svilo)

Interesting position...thanks for posting it and the rollout. It's interesting to me that 5/1 is not at all the BK play that neilkaz thought it was, and that 7/3 is still in the running. The latter play, to me, demonstrates that breaking from the bar is such a strong play in general that it can cover a multitude of sins (in this case, the misplaced checker on the 3pt). That would be my main takeaway from this position.

Also, FWIW, one reason that I thought 6/2 would be bad is that it gives White a useful 2 to play, which we'd prefer she play on the other side of the board. 5/1 gives White a useful 1, but the swing doesn't seem as large.
