One of the advantages of the "banana split" play in the previous problem is that it gives your opponent more chances to make errors than the other plays. Although this is not reflected in the rollout, it is a factor when playing humans.

For instance, look at what happens if your opponent rolls a 41. Hit once, hit twice, or don't hit at all. And if you don't hit, where to play the ace?





White is Player 1

score: 3
pip: 148
5 point match
pip: 120
score: 4

Blue is Player 2
XGID=aABB-AC-A-A----a-cdcc---D-:1:-1:-1:41:3:4:0:5:10
Blue to play 41
