In Response To: The Art of Beavering (Timothy Chow)

In practice I don't think studying close beaver/no beaver positions helps very much. If you are playing with someone bad enough to double/redouble beaverish positions then you often win enough in the long run anyway and the question has little to do with theoretical equity and more about how to best handle the cube in that situation.
