I was surprised that, in a near-perfect game with world-champ PR,
the only move to be significantly criticised was 16/10 3/2.
Why on earth concede the two indirects?
What exactly am I paying for here??
Admittedly, I haven't done a rollout.
Is it that the gammon count is so close that I can't waste a pip.
I don't get it -- an 11% hitting chance!
Please explain why safety isn't feasible here.
Thank You,
Paul

before, years ago...I think you underestimate how horrible 3/2 is.
How horrible, you ask? Well, this position illustrates just how
horrible it is.
