In Response To: Jacoby rule (Timothy Chow)

In essence, I agree. Having compared many Jacoby vs. non-Jacoby rollouts of early game positions, the difference is rarely more than .002, unless there is a pending cube. The position at hand is more middle-game than early-game, but I doubt that the presence or absence of the Jacoby rule has any significant impact.
