In Response To: Playing the GG side requires more checker-play skill, on average, than defending against GG (Bob Koca)

"Why focus specifically on situations where the GG player already has an attacking advantage?"

Because, in the thread's subject position, the GG player has an attacking advantage. And also because, in general, ANY given GG player is far more likely to be on the attack than his risk-averse opponent.
