In Response To: the sickness of the 7 points (svilo)

The choice seems to be either playing off the 6 point and burying checkers or playing off the midpoint 13/4 and leaving a direct shot. (13/8 13/10 seems weaker as it allows white to hit with tempo - except for 61 & 64 white will still have 2 checkers stuck behind a five prime if she hits on the 13.)

Normally, you don't want to volunteer a shot in a holding game, but this looks like an exception. I don't like the awkward stripped gapped formation after 6/1 6/2.

13/4 for me.
