In Response To: 4a3a cube action (Timothy Chow)

Blue has a strong position with White's checker stuck behind enemy lines. Blue has some pretty strong numbers [62,22,11] make a 5prime, 65 makes a point on White's head, after 55 White may never move again, all other doubles are good. It appears that with only one checker back and no other blots laying around White should be able to take a position with even race, but I am not so certain. Just look how horrible White's numbers play on the next roll[41,51,61,62,54,65 and perhaps 42]all leave a shot. When I first saw the position I considered it to be a solid take, but the more I look at it the more I am inclined to let it go.
