In Response To: Rollout (Timothy Chow)

I will paste you what I wrote at the time of my initial analysis pre-rollout:

I play 14/10 and expect it to win the rollout. This lifts the blot while slotting part of the prime, keeps the blot count down by one, and I don’t see any real difference in value between the 10pt and the 9pt. It’s true you’re more likely to make the 9pt if you get away with it and there’s some duplication involved, but slotting the 10pt also involves some duplication. [62 63 65] The key is to realizing how weak and brittle your opponent’s position currently is.
