In Response To: To hit or not to hit (Daniel Murphy)

I don't think I'd hit in the 1st position since I own the cube and am close to giving an efficient recube. If hit/dance, you've lost your mkt by a mile; if White hits you back, cube ownership helps your cause a little bit, but not much.

I'd hit in pos 2 since White owns the cube. He will either dance and become a huge dog or hit and become a big fav and cube ownership won't do him much good in either case.

Pos 3 looks close. I think I'd hit since we're not as big a fav as pos 1 if we don't hit and we're not as dead if hit back.

In 4, I don't hit for much the same reasons as in #1.

In 5, I hit since White has all those blots in his inner board.
