21S-32Z-31P-32Z-54Z-43 (White on roll)

The bot hits twice. Seems to violate safe vs. aggressive rule. Please explain.

To not play K (Kill, 8/5* 6/2*) in your position would be obeying the safe vs bold criteria to the exclusion of other concepts. The play of T (sTack/Tower, 13/6) is lame. White's choice of distribution just "forces" her to play K.

In other words, the safe vs bold criteria applies (i.e., it's a useful factor) but doesn't by itself automatically determine the best play. If Blue didn't own his 5pt, then the difference (by which K dominates T) would be even greater.

If you also give Blue his 4pt (add 42P to his position), then White's decision to play K or T is probably very close.
