In Response To: Bearing in with no contact (Matt Cohn-Geier)

Up until recently, I've almost always ignored GNU 2-ply's complaints that I have not made the optimal bear-in play, figuring that (1) GNU 2-ply might be wrong anyway and (2) the amount of equity at stake is small. However, I have decided to spend some amount of time looking into this, because I figure that bearing in with no contact happens so often that if I'm carelessly throwing away 0.020 to 0.050 every time, then it starts to add up. If there's some principle or rule of thumb I'm missing that is easy to learn then I'd like to find out.
