In Response To: Daily Quiz 4/28 (Daily Quiz)

Problem. 1 Everyone hits except those who don't see it. Blue doesn't own the cube so his back checkers need to get out by sheer effort. Here's a good chance to begin the extrication. 15/12*, 24/18.

Problem 2. The barpoint is a great blocking point for opp's 24- and 23-point anchors. This looks like a long haul and that argues even more strongly for the pure points. 15/7.

Problem 3. My observations are that humans (well, one in particular, anyway) try to do too much immediately rather than letting things progress/develop. How bad is Blue's checker on the 24-point? It's not critical that it be freed immediately. However, if White has trouble entering Blue has tons more hitting chances from the 14-point compared to 12-point. An interesting decision... Note the duplication of White's aces and deuces after 24/14*. I don't cater to QF but will admit that having more time on a quiz to think compared to OtB play is potentially helpful. 24/14*.
