Nack--You found the position i found--but i did it by trial and error over the bosrd using XG. Being able to find this in your head is snother story.

Yup, I did the rollouts in my head, too, but I wasn't sure everyone would take my word for it so I ran it redundantly through XG for illustration purposes.

Just kidding. I used trial and error plugging into XGR++ just like you did, except most positions looked they obviously wouldn't work. I only checked the ones with Blue's leading blot 5 or 6 away from White, and with Blue's trailing checker at least 7 pips behind that, and I only rolled out the ones I posted.

Here is what is also fun. Lets say one of the two checkers gets hit. It surprised me that the cube action would probebly be double/beaver!

Neat trick. I'd like to see that.

Nack
