In Response To: How many is too many? (Michael Depreli)

Thanks for posting a tough and challenging position. No way would I have made the best play over the board. If I were to live to be 1000 and if I studied backgame checker play 10 hours every day, no way could I ever perfectly deal with checkers play, let alone backgame cube action in matches.

Let's also consider the cube action before the roll (a) with the cube centered and (b) assuming that Blue somehow owns the cube.

I hope you do not think I am hijacking your position, but let's also consider the cube action before the roll for money and at some randomly selected match scores.
