White is XG Roller++ score: 0 pip: 139 15 point match pip: 141 score: 1 Blue is BGO Readers XGID=-aa---E-C--BbEa--b-cbba---:0:0:1:62:1:0:0:15:10 Blue to play 62 Candidates are: $ (Slot) = 13/5 % (Alternate slot) = 13/11, 13/7 H (Hit) = 13/11, 6/2* By virtue of slotting the better point, duping 3, and offering fewer shots, $ dominates %. The choice is then between $ and H. $ is vulnerable to 24 shots, but cleans up nicely. It also puts a checker where we want it. When it works, we get the 5pt. H is significantly safer. Because 61 misses, H leaves only 18 shots. H also leaves fewer hit-and-cover numbers. On the other hand, H is harder to clean up than $, and even when it works, all we get is the 2pt. It looks like we get cubed either way. I’m not really sure, but I’ll try $. The problem with H is that, when it works, we don’t gain very much. $ (Slot) = 13/5 Mike
