In Response To: I rolled the wrong seven (Timothy Chow)

...in the sense that 13/8 6/4 is too bold, 13/6 (which I played OTB) is too timid, and 13/11 13/8 is just right. (I always liked Linus's argument that mamabear should be the one that's "just right.") I wouldn't have even considered slotting the 4 point had I not just studied this position. But 13/8 6/4 is far too reckless here, and I think that even if I had rolled 4-2 it would have been wrong to play 13/9 6/4.
