In Response To: The Donkey Corner #2 (HOMINID)

Why is 7/1* so much better than 6/1* 8/7 ?

7/1* gives you three builders to attack with, while 8/7 6/1* only gives you two. You should gladly break the 7 or 8 to make a point or cover, but you need a spare on the 6 for it to be usable as a builder.

BTW, XGR++ likes 7/1* best - 8/7 6/1* is a .08 blunder, with the quieter 13/8 6/5 and 13/7 somewhere in the middle.
