Some of you may recall I like looking for these positions. Positions where we're specifically on the bar against the best five point board and still might have a take. They're certainly hard to find (garden variety positions) and in general if you simply passed these regular looking positions when faced with the cube you would be doing pretty well. I tweaked this position a lot from the original I faced OtB and it's still a drop. We're up in the race, have a good board/prime of our own, and the rest of the opp's checkers are still pretty far away...yet still, too powerful.
