In Response To: Rollout + variants (Timothy Chow)

I did simply things and I do constantly simplify things for the greater good in backgammon. If one were able to come up with 1,000 of these problems that came up OtB assuming no weird score or irregular cube situations, hopping up to get out and breaking the board would be right so much more often it wouldn't even be funny. Even in manipulating the position you hardly came up with something where hopping up and breaking the board was wrong. Sure, the plays were virtually tied but that doesn't concern us. That still means you're ok if your default is hop + break.
