Blue to play 63

Play for the Prime

Rather than enter a hitting exchange, I'd play this as prime-vs.-prime.

Two down from the midpoint, D = 13/10 13/7, looks better than o = 11/5 10/7. Keeping the midpoint might be worth it if White had fewer spares to work with. As it stands, White will only break his midpiont if he can do so safely. By giving up the midpoint now, Blue creates a flexible position that suits a priming game plan.

Besides, Blue is outboarded 3-to-2, and he would have to leave a ton of return shots if he leaves his anchor.
