In Response To: Kazaross-Rice Final -- Most Interesting, Most Critical Play (Bill Riles)

I quickly played 6/2 and didn't like it and then determined that 6/3 13/12 was only hit with one more shot, but didn't like that. 8/4x looked great when it worked and OK if I get hit but enter quickly (like ASAP) but leads to a disaster if I dance a couple times and Stick gets builders around. Had Stick not had a killed checker, I'd not have considered 8/4x.

Then I went back and tried to look further ahead for 6/3 13/12 vs 6/2 and just couldnt decide between them noting 66 and 44 may allow Stick to do well in a race if I leave the 11 shot rather than the 12 shot. Hmmmm I just didn't like either play and decided to attack 8/4x, inspite of the risks.

I haven't taken this long on a play in a long long time, and realized that I was overthinking and just tiring myself out.

I think this is too much bravado from me at a point where it isn't justified by the score since my GV is clearly less than Sticks.

The quicky rollouts people did had my aggression wrong by about .085 to .09 but I got away with it and almost G'd Stick for the match which I won in the next game when a few sucky rolls shattered Stick's position hopelessly.
