What and why?

Even though I don't like double anchor games that include the opponent's barpoint, this doesn't look like the time or position (i.e. pressure on opp's 10-point only provided by barpoint anchor) to abandon it. So the question for me is whether or not to lift the blot on the 5-point.

In general I don't lift blots on points I slotted unless the conditions have drastically change. (For example, I no longer need the slotted point to win the game.)

The primary goal here is to keep opp's back checker trapped. The backup plan is to pick up a checker later after the trapped one has escaped. Lifting the blot damages the conditions/requirements of the primary goal.
