Article on skill-based cube decisions?

Depending on who is which player it may or may not have been the right decision assuming at least a 100 elo difference between Neil and Justin. I don't know Justin's average level of play but I would guess it's in the ~3 PR higher ballpark than Neil.

I see you often emphasize the skill difference when deciding on the cube action. Maybe an article on this topic would be of interest to people? I know I would love to see it. I usually don't make any major adjustments when playing on Grid Gammon, because most 1800+ or 1850+ players are relatively solid and I don't want to fall into the trap of over-adjusting. But at live local tourneys here there are many people playing between 12 and 20 PR on average, and according to you that should probably call for some large adjustments.

I'd love to see some examples of types of positions where you would choose to deviate from normal cube action, of course depending on your perceived skill difference between you and your opponent. Hoping to see that as one of your future GV articles (unless it would be revealing too much of your own secrets).
