Here, I played 7/4 which is the bot's choice (no rollout).
However, it involved a few interesting (to me) changes of mind.
I made the play very quickly, probably focused on clearing my 7 point.
The instant after I played it, I hugely regretted it, seeing that there
were now quite a lot of shotleavers for me that could have been avoided
by 4/1. I was expecting to be battered by the evaluations.
I was pleasantly surprised though, when my unthinking carelessness
was rewarded, by XG opining that I got it right after all.

I know there's not much equity involved but I'd be interested to hear other comments.
