In Response To: 32 Prime v Prime Jacoby Beaver (Colin Owen)

Though this position was a real eye opener for me, I was reluctant to post it. With the best play proving to be SO superior, I felt it would be easy to find for the stronger players, and maybe even for most BGonliners. As a player whose PR has averaged around the 5 to 6 area (middling for the Nordic Open crowd, I think), I certainly didn't find it, and never even really considered it tbh (playing 13/11* 13/10), but I thought it might be instructive for the non-elite to appreciate just HOW wrong not double-hitting is.

The fact that so few responded to the post is interesting to me. BGonline has yet to rebuild its footfall, and I know my posts aren't clickbait, but in half a week it did get 50 viewings. Was it so clear then that few felt it worth addressing? From the two responses it did get, I have to doubt this: Tim Chow - who is very probably a stronger player than myself - didn't even discuss the double hit, and the other player - who I'm not familiar with - though they did discuss it, quickly dismissed it for (to me, anyway) seemingly valid reasons. Have some potential posters decided that they'd hit just once, checked it on XG, then felt too embarrassed to post their perspective? Whatever, I'm just glad that XG's dice generator gave me a 32 to butcher here!
