Black to play D3

In Response To: Black to play D3 (John O'Hagan)

I've read everyone's responses in this thread so far and would like to give some advice.

  1. Quit being humans. You've been trained, stop it.
  2. Play doubles slooooooooowly, don't see a good play or even a good part of the play and make it saying quickly to yourself 'well that part is forced'.
  3. As with any roll, doubles or non, if there's a hitting play find the best non hitting play and assess if that play is worth considering.
  4. More often than one might imagine, the best play isn't made because it isn't even considered.

Everyone has noted that a cube is likely in the making. One thing I don't believe was mentioned is that you will not have a play on next turn if you make one of the best plays. Most people are playing 8/5*(3) 6/3. If your opponent fans and you play on, you're just a donkey. His forward position is way too strong and your own not strong enough to merit playing on. The idea of playing on after your selected play should not be part of the equation.
