In Response To: More choices than you shake Stick at (happyjuggler0)

I hadn't even considered the cube here, thanks to the person who posted that suggestion. I'm slipping with lack of play; once upon a time I likely would have cubed, and definitely would have considered it anyway.

I managed to get the checker play right anyway. My other choice was making the 5pt, after all, the 5pt is the 5pt, right? However here I noted all my blots, along with the 9pt blocking white's outside checker, and perhaps most important, my two remaining blots can on;y be hit if white kills his midpoint. The last is a point I think that is often overlooked in bg, namely ruining some aspect of your opp's scary looking position when he hits you.

The score (after 0 games) is: gnubg 4, blue 3 (match to 15 points)

Move number 4: blue on roll, cube decision?
