In a mutual holding game, the player with the lead in the race usually has the advantage, but they are often at a timing disadvantage. To deal with this, the race leader often considers jumping out from their anchor. If they succeed and avoid being hit, their advantage increases significantly because they’ll be playing a holding game with a race lead, which is a favorable position. However, jumping out isn’t risk-free.
To decide if the risk/reward ratio is in your favor, you need to consider a number of key risk factors. Read more about these and test your knowledge in a quiz in the article “Mutual Holding Game Strategy: When to Jump Out“ by Marc Van Damme.
