    I don't see how O can take this, either this turn or next.

    Yeah, it's kind of a small TG as you say. I don't know why I expected you to say something else.
    Well done.

    TG by .060. I'd put that bigger than small. And some TG by .060 are _much_ larger than other TG by .060. This is much larger.

    TG by .060. I'd put that bigger than small. And some TG by .060 are _much_ larger than other TG by .060. This is much larger.

    How can one TG by .06 be bigger than another TG by .06?
