In this episode, I'll look at Games 3 and 4 of my match with Rachel Rhodes in the New York tournament in January. After the first two games, I was leading 5-0 in a 15-point match. Many players tighten up with a lead, but, as in poker, that's the wrong approach. In this video, I'll explain how you're supposed to handle the cube when the score gets lopsided. The games also feature some interesting racing decisions, and I'll explain how to evaluate positions where you have a choice between hanging back and disengaging into a race.
