In Response To: 4 ply RO when Black is closer to crashing and the G less secure (Christian Munk-Christensen)

CMC "Is the reason for 3/2 being best here that it allows yellow to hold the board longer, leading to more brown crashes?"

I believe that is a main reason. Note that 3/2 wins a tad fewer games, but more G's. These G's are likely coming from containing Black's spare longer on the ace pt, which in this position goes hand in hand with crashing somewhat.

The fact that 3/2 doesn't win more games but wins more G's makes me think that containing that spare is the main feature.
