In Response To: Threw a 32 (John O'Hagan)

I thought that the term was coined by Bagai i.e. what Tim Chow described as a "Bagai position"

i.e. "...a play that, when bearing in or off against contact, breaks a high home-board point in order to make a lower home-board point, often hitting in the process. There should also be a less bold alternative available."

But I'm not sure that's correct, and can't find anything to support it.

9/6 5/3* is not quite a "Bagai play" since we're not bearing in or off, and we're not making the three. And I'm not sure what the precise definition of "banana split" is. bkgm.com is not particularly helpful. https://www.bkgm.com/rgb/rgb.cgi?menu+terminology
