In Response To: Extreme backgame (ah_clem)

Those four back points are formidable, but White's other 7 checkers are more advanced than I'd like. Blue's game plan is clear, but Bue has yet to make a home board point, the 5 and 7 are still open, and there's a lot of play left. I could be way off, but I'd think (1) I could beat Gnubg 2-ply with either side (2) I'd rather be Blue against a competent human player, (3) be happy to play the White side against a less competent opponent, and (4) take White for sure if Blue promises to double now.
