I agree that a player who is likely to be dancing will typically have easier decisions. But you said it is true in general that GG takes more skill than GS. Why focus specifically on situations where the GG player already has an attacking advantage? From the start of the game it could be the GG player who gets closed out also.

    • 13-5 is the better choice for most, if not all, human players, IMO
