the right idea here. The trouble is that the alternative play 8/2
is so weak. Take a look at the variant for comparison.
1. Rollout¹ 24/18 eq:-0.414
Player: 40.99% (G:4.20% B:0.18%)
Opponent: 59.01% (G:16.61% B:0.26%)
Confidence: ±0.012 (-0.426..-0.402) - [100.0%]
2. Rollout¹ 8/2 eq:-0.527 (-0.113)
Player: 38.61% (G:5.65% B:0.22%)
Opponent: 61.39% (G:20.20% B:0.40%)
Confidence: ±0.013 (-0.539..-0.514) - [0.0%]
