In Response To: The score, you fool! (Timothy Chow)

Although the gammon value of the opponent is normal, our own gammon value is zero. That usually means that we're less inclined to make plays like 13/9 8/5* at this score than for money, since we don't gain as much when the play works.

13/9 is a play for most wins, not for gammons. We have very low gammon chance here anyway. After locking one checker You have ca. 3%. With 2 outfielders it's maybe 7-10%. Here, You only have a CHANCE to do so, so I'd estimate 3-6% after the play, which is rather insignificant.
