In Response To: MCG -- Ray Match (Bill Riles)

I can't remember the position since I thought my actions were absolutely clear.

I thought strongly about not recubing for a minute or so because of Ray's time deficit...but figured failing to recube was at least a blunder if not around a .2 or .3 error. And, of course, if I hit one or two blots and he fans, I've lost my market by a nautical mile. And I also took into consideration that usually this is the last game anyway because either a) he wins a gammon and the match is over; b) I win a gammon and the match is over; or c) I have to cube him in later anyway [the fourth option being d) ...I lose my market by a nautical mile].

Also I can't expect Ray to flag. And whilst he might make errors with the checkers or cube will they really be bigger than the error I'm going to make by not recubing? Where I gain equity when someone has 16 seconds left is when they cube something like Ray's position.

Anyway, this is basically the mental process I went through OTB and decided to recube.
