35% is the leader's takepoint when there is the usual amount of gammons
to be had. O owns the four point, so that should prevent too many
gammons, but she also has a third checker back and if X can hit the blot
on the 12 the gammon rate should increase. So, I'll say it's about
normal and ask if O has 35% GWC here.


Looks like that and more. But the 15 rolls that hit the outfield blot
look like market losers so it's probably time to ship it.

D/T.

The rollout says that this is a clear pass. Again, I was surprised
by this verdict. This time, I underestimated how often X wins this
game. After all, O has an advanced anchor and the pip count is even.
But O's structure is awful.

The pip count being even is fake news as 15 rolls hit that outfield checker and another three rolls make a solid five prime where the opponent has three men trapped behind it. That's half the rolls where the race no longer even matters.
