In Response To: Escaping a checker from behind a 5-prime (Timothy Chow)

...because my eyes are glazing just looking at this table >> but this problem isn't quite as cut and dried as just "Will Blue escape before White enters?" Closing him out may not be as simple as it looks for White after he's on the board. Especially, if Blue reaches the edge before more White builders are ready, he might still make a belated but effective escape. And owning the cube, he gets to try, and try, and try.

I haven't been to RGB in about 30 years...is it still plagued by trolls?
