So first off we need to be fairly certain of our evaluation OtB. OtB I thought this was a small pass. The pass is slightly smaller than I would have guessed but a decent ballpark for a real time estimation.

Given that it's such a small pass I think it's probably clear to everyone that if our opponent plays that much worse than us it's an easy take. A couple of things to take into consideration when weighing decisions like this are..

  • (As already mentioned) The size of the decision and how sure you are about it

  • (As UBK mentioned) Where does the majority of my opponent's PR stem from?

  • Is my adjustment worth the time of playing out the game to completion rather than starting a new game?

These are just a few things to consider for this particular situation. For similar situations with other variables involved there can possibly be many more things worth considering.
