In Response To: match cube action (Stick)

I am going to withhold the names of the players who thought this was a recube. They were 2nd quartile championship level players. (Some of the kibitzers agreed with the double too.) The doubler thought about rolling (thinking it might be too good) and then shipped. I lost a gammon for a one game match almost as quickly as I snatched the cube. The reason I posted this is because it was the biggest blunder I have ever seen out of a championship level plaser. It was over 1.0 on a Snowie mini-rollout. GNU looks like it is going to come in a hair under 1.0. The doubler probably doesn't even win 40%.

Although I am withholding some names, I will mention that Rory Pascar evaluated the position at a glance and predicted the size of the blunder in an instant. What a talent!
