In Response To: NM Masters Final GG early game 33 (neilkaz)

This 33 is obviously automatic at anything resembling a normal score, but GG isn't a normal score since my added losses trade evenly with my added gammon wins (GV=1 rather than 0.5 for $$) and I have no fear of losing a G.

After about 2 minutes thought I felt that making my 4 pt would gain me 4% more G's won (Black may be locked on the ace pt even after making his 4 or 5 pts and may expose new blots) vs 3% more games lost (I can still play with no fear of G's lost even if I get nearly primed).

I'm not totally sure which play is more complicated but still think that staying back is more complicated. I am also unsure whether the fact that Stepan missplayed his previous two rolls seemingly being very afraid to run and leave one checker back, should affect my choice here, but in the end I went for my 4 pt.
