The aggressive player might stay back to get a shot, but it's a big blunder. Right now, red has substantial potentials for a pure racing game, because even though white has a slim advantage in pip-counts, red is leading in bear-ins. Thus red should jump over the white's 4-pt prime with both of his back men.

2. Cubeful 2-ply    11/5 8/3                     Eq.:  -0.489 ( -0.344)
        34.1%   0.8%   0.0% -  65.9%   2.5%   0.1%

    3. Cubeful 2-ply    21/16 8/2                    Eq.:  -0.510 ( -0.365)
        33.2%   2.4%   0.0% -  66.8%   3.9%   0.1%
        2-ply cubeful prune [world class]
    4. Cubeful 2-ply    21/16 11/5                   Eq.:  -0.554 ( -0.409)
        31.8%   2.5%   0.0% -  68.2%   5.2%   0.2%
        2-ply cubeful prune [world class]
    5. Cubeful 2-ply    21/10                        Eq.:  -0.562 ( -0.416)
        31.3%   2.5%   0.0% -  68.7%   4.5%   0.2%
        2-ply cubeful prune [world class]


As it's shown in GNUBG's analysis, even after running, red is still the underdog, but with a so much little margin that makes it theoretically incorrect for white even to dare to throw the cube.

The leftist's feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many leftists of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of IQ tests.  - T.K
