I haven't posted for a few months; I'm not playing as much and haven't noticed any interesting positions in time to post them.
So this is another illustration of a very basic point. Maybe I have posted too many of this sort of thing already -- it's not deep at all, though I'll admit I've sometimes blown it when I was working through a backlog of games and moving too quickly.
What should r. do to maximize his chance of victory?
