Title: Fibsboard Forum Match 18 Game 1 Move 19 Herd cube decision
Post by: stiefnu on March 13, 2014, 10:29:35 AM
juanz danced again with 36. Does the Herd want to push the cube now or hold it?

5-pt match, score 0-0
Pipcount: juanz (red) 131, Herd (black) 104

while our position is still a bit disconnected, i think the threat of 1. hitting a second checker 2. making the 4 pt are enough to really give him something to think about.  ship it over

We can pick up a second blot, make the 4pt, or even just make the 1pt. juanz will dance quite often. Gammons are in the air! Ship it.

With the vote so close, I'll leave this one up for a few hours longer.  Meanwhile, maybe the hold camp would like to say why they don't want to cube yet?
