Another one bites the dust

I always forget that making a strong home-board point is often the best way of protecting a blot in my opponent's home board. Here, it seems that the blot is in such need of protection that we have to make the 5-point even at the expense of stacking.

As I said elsewhere, if our blot is moved back just one pip where it seems to be slightly safer, then GNU 4-ply thinks there are 3 plays that are too close to call. (Also, I guess, moving the blot unduplicates our 6's.) It would be interesting to see what a rollout says about the modified position.
