41W

In Response To: Opening roll of 41 (Rick Gardner)

The opening roll of 41 played 24/20 6/5 is nactated "W" (style) or "E" (areal).

It is awfully hard to justify opening 41W (see the rollout in David Levy's post), even if you are the stronger player seeking complications. Opening 41W was a favorite of the great Mike Senkiewicz in the Texas chouettes, though as far as I know Mike has never played it in a tournament.

In response to opening 65R (Run, 24/13), 41W is closer. Snowie actually plays 65R-41W (with the relative evaluations of $ and S being -.004 and -.006, respectively), though its own 10k rollout results in [$ S1 W19] -- i.e., W is off by .019.

What is the best play with 41 in the early game situation below? For the answer, see position #27 of the Nactation tutorial (its rollout can be found in section 17).
