In Response To: Rollout Result Posted (pontiac)

pontiac asked:

Is it generally true to turn cube at the first opportunity when opp. 2away ?

This is a large topic but the short answer is no. Steve Sax wrote a good article about this on Gammon Village recently but you have to pay to see it.

To a very crude first approximation, you should turn the cube aggressively when you smell chances to win a gammon. This is especially true when trailing 4a2a.
