As I recall, this one is a good one to try at various scores because different plays come out on top at different scores.

You probably said this a long time ago, but are you referring primarily to Trice's GV articles or to his books? There are some slight differences between the two. Anyway, I believe in that in the book, Trice gives an analysis that is presumably based on Snowie verdicts, and I believe that XG contradicts some of that analysis.

One final comment is that I'd recommend including 6/3* 4/3 in any rollouts of this position regardless of its equity.
