Anchor or Board ATS?

In Response To: Anchor or Board ATS? (Timothy Chow)

Actually, I wouldnt be surprised if it is true - my reasoning would be any point/fan sequence has to have a very high gammon rate associated. Yes, there are limited sequences where that happens in 1ply, but think down the road: if you are willing this time to refuse the anchor, and make the board, you are likely to follow that same path the next time an opportunity like this arises - also you are going to be staying back because you are behind in the race, and at some point you will have to remain split because white has cleared a problem point - or some other reason.

I can well believe the 20% gammon rate on any non-anchoring play.

But, we'll see how your rollout goes, it'll be interesting.
