Slotting the 5pt tends to be better than slotting the 7pt (examples of both appear at the above link), but in this case slotting the 5pt is clearly worse. The reason is that after Blue plays d (down, 13/7), ALL of White's aces hit on the 20pt and either cover the 4pt or hit a second checker. By contrast, after Blue plays $ (Slot, 13/8 6/5) it is with fewer than half of her 3s (43 33 32) that White is much better off hitting on the 18pt than playing on her own side of the board.

I expect d to do well with XG, just as it did with GnuBG. I'll do a rollout anyway, though, and post it. Nice position, Michael.

I'm a little confused here. First of all, I think you switched d and $ in your discussion above. Secondly, Michael's rollout was an XG rollout; do you mean that you'll do a GNU rollout and post it?

Finally, I would have expected you to compare 13/7 with 11/5, rather than with 13/8 6/5. Do you think that 13/8 6/5 is better than 11/5?
