In Response To: Nickels and the old run or attack question (neilkaz)

I'd blitz, mostly because 11 pips after the roll is not that much of a lead. Hitting wins and loses more gammons, and wist less games, which is not what we like at this score for efficient cube use. I suspect that the decision is close, and that with the race 1 pip better for us (if somehow we could make that change without changing other relevant aspects of the position) running would be better.

Early in a match, blitzing would be very clear.
