In Response To: OTB (Dmitriy Obukhov)

I knew that 31P-31P-51 was almost dead even for money. I judged (mistakenly, as it turned out) that his 42P (instead of 31P) made me very slightly less inclined to split due to advantage of 42P over 31P in 2 pips and due to his slightly worse priming position compared to 31P-31P-51. Also, needing a gammon, 6/5 seemed like a better bet. Rollouts show that although 6/5 gains over 24/23 at Gammon Go, the gain is almost negligible. So, I am still scratching my head here wondering what is wrong with my thinking.

I have an explanation, but it can be better understood if I can accompany it with a 2x2 diagram matrix. Can you remind me how to create side-by-side diagrams? - I've forgotten.
