In Response To: Wait or go? (Karol Szczerek)

Assuming we don't hit, I'd look at how many rolls escape cleanly, how many get almost home, and how many don't move or move only to the 18 (if White would want to). Then I look at how White's rolls that don't move play and how many break White's board. Then I look at how many rolls return hit if Blue strikes now, and how White is poised to escape after return hitting. I consider whether White cracks after hitting a return shot. I note that if Blue hits and White dances, Blue wins with the cube. Then I note that if Blue waits, Blue makes a 4 point board. I note how many rolls make a 5-point board after wait and no move. Finally I note that if Blue hits, Blue might well loose a gammon on a return hit.

By now I am clearly waiting.
