In Response To: DQ: Safety first? (leobueno)

Leo, are you going to post a rollout for this one?

I'd just run 20/13. When White has two high anchors like this, making our bar point doesn't accomplish nearly as much as running our straggler to safety.

Looking at it another way, what is White's game plan? She's far behind in the race, so Plan A is to contain our back checker. If she can't do that, then Plan B is to hit a shot first, and then contain our back checker. Plan B is clearly harder than Plan A because it involves two steps rather than one. So force her into Plan B right away.
