I have a dull-as-ditchwater construction problem.
Construct a money position where the optimal checker play is unique but
where the loss in equity from choosing the second-best play is as small
as possible.

task of constructing a position where the player on roll has
the smallest possible nonzero winning probability. The best
candidates for that problem are nearly hopeless pure races,
where the underdog has to roll boxcars over and over and the
favorite has to roll 21 over and over. I would imagine that
a small variant of that position would yield an excellent
solution to your problem. For example, if the favorite
misplays a 21 then that's not going to cost much equity.
