What did Robertie say??

Robertie was in favor of the double hit back then. He thought splitting in response to 31 was bad, because Blue was better poised to attack wih an inner board point, so hitting twice was the correct way to punish White. Today we know better: it's more important to split and try to go after an advanced anchor before you get primed, and getting hit on the 5 point while outboarded 2:1 is very bad. Still, there's something to be said for taking a tempo away from White after he plays 13/9, so 8/2*/1 isn't very far behind, as it is after 21S or 51S. I'm not going to post the entirety of his analysis due to copyright issues.

Hitting two looks to be clearly right at scores like odd-away Crawford and post-Crawford. The cubeless equities are very close.
