In Response To: Backgame cube action (Karol Szczerek)

Instead of "+5PR opponent" use "weak, 8-10 PR guy without a good grip on the backgames".

This is still very misleading. It is no longer a backgame. All that inference of 'hey, my weak opponent doesn't know how to play against a backgame' doesn't exist. This is simply a late game double shot where his side plays out quite easily except maybe some recube action somewhere along the way. In fact, our +5 PR opponent may play this out at a lower PR than we do!

The only thing that matters is if our +5 PR opponent knows roughly how often he wins from such a position, with 6 off, after he's hit.
