In Response To: Rollouts: Still puzzled! (Timothy Chow)

At the score, if you attack and your opponent dances, your cube is very inefficient, whereas for money, in the same sequence, it is quite efficient. That explains the reasons for the different plays (and would mean that without access to the cube, 13/5(2) is probably right).

The nice part of the problems set is that one could reason attack while trailing to jack up the gammon rates, so it is easy to get the plays exactly wrong.
