Containment + XG question

I think this is only a close pass. I also am not sure whether XG RO's can prove that. It's a long way until two or three checkers get closed out as it will be a while until Blue has more ammo in the zone.

There will be many difficult decisions if White anchors concerning whether to hit a 3rd checker or not. I'm not sure that either XG or a human can get them all correct.

I'd not use anything less than 4 ply to RO this. In this type of position it can also pay to expand the search interval wider than normal since there's so many plays that may look about equivilent on a lower play, but could change a bit on a higher ply.

If the XG RO is making cube errors later after not doubling here, it is likely that the D/ND results may be flawed. I don't think XG takes to many bad recubes after taking this as White, so I think the D/T RO results should be valid, assuming good checker play.
