53P-41S-66B-31?

Everyone got this right, but I nearly blundered over the board.

Making the five point is obviously reasonable, but other themes caught my eye.

The desirability of an advanced anchor once the opponent has one led me to consider 23/20 9/8, but this is -0.27 behind on the rollout.

Building in front of rather behind the anchor made me think of the 13/9, which also prevents White hitting me. Then I realised that a White hit would offer me plenty of return shots and White would lose the anchor. This reduced my concern.

There is a long way to go in this game, so I correctly made the long-term asset of the five point.

I didn't really consider anchoring on the 23 point, which is a point I dislike. It has the values of anchoring when White has 10 men in the zone, and furthermore it threatens White's stripped 8 point, which would be useful builders for the double gap in her board. E (Each, 24/23 6/3) is narrowly behind c (cross, 24/23 8/5) but a longer rollout would be needed for confidence.

This is another early-game position, so I've posted rollouts for 5k trials at both 0-ply and 2-ply, to see how they compare. The 0-ply rollout isn't far off form the 2-ply evaluation, but the two-ply rollout worsens Blue's position for each of the top three plays.

53P-41S-66B-31 [P-688 c56 E63] gnubg 2ply rollout, 5k
53P-41S-66B-31 [P-671 c27 E39] gnubg 0ply rollout, 5k*4.5
53P-41S-66B-31 [P-668 c24 E47] gnubg 2ply eval

(I always have to check Nack's key for which symbol refers to which bot, so I've written that part longhand.)
