In Response To: Standard Cube Action (Timothy Chow)

Stick: Playing on GG today I got to this textbook position. I asked myself one question then cubed, what was that question and what do you think about the position?

Tim: ...Perhaps your opponent did drop and you're using this as another opportunity to give your (standard?) explanation of why your cube error rate is so deep in donkeyland.

Nack: Perhaps it can be found here.

I agree with you and others that this cube is epochs too early, theoretically speaking. If Blue thinks his opponent might actually pass this, he should be expending his brain cells to figure out a way to cajole Opp into a money game.

For some reason, I am never shown the positions where a player doubled early and his opponent took. [Grin]
