In Response To: Paul Money, on playing on (Timothy Chow)

I'll keep this short & sweet. I had a few of my students play this position out cold. We played out X number of games and I never commented on anything nor did they see their errors from the previous game until after all games were played. Want to guess what the big blunder was on their part? They didn't realize it was too good..

All of them wanted to cash the position. So immediately I had to give up that the position was too good. After that the major errors that arose (ignoring not playing on) stemmed from failing to come off the anchor immediately. Still, those errors didn't make up enough equity overall.

It made for a decent lesson though. The problem isn't playing it out, it's people knowing their too good though, esp. at the score. They need to know the take point at 3a 3a, the gv both on a centered cube and turned cube, and then the important aspects of the positions like running off the anchor immediately and lifting the blot on the 8pt to a safer point in general.
