My Criterion for Making a Kamikaze Play

In Response To: Kamikaze plays... (christian munk-christensen)

I believe a kamikaze play is best if and only if the resulting position leaves you with a greater equity than any of the other plays. Who can argue with that?

By the way, Christian, I am so happy that you did not follow through on your threat to give up backgammon because the stack-'em-up play with 52 turned out to be correct in the MCG position a couple of weeks ago.

Welcome back!
