In Response To: Rollouts and result (othello)

I have to congratulate Othello on continuing to come up with amazing stumpers even as the worldwide standard of backgammon continues to improve!

I thought that my score of 3 was abysmal until I saw that it would have put me in the top half.

Problem 3 is the only one that I feel I should have gotten right because I have a blind spot about point-switching plays like this one. The others still baffle me.
