Is the eleven point an asset or a liability? It blocks sixes from the anchor-with-spares, but blue will have to clear it at some point. Why not now?

Meanwhle, white would love to unstack the midpoint and normally unloading it onto a blot would be desirable, but her timing is marginal at best and a hit that she can't contain only hurts her timing. Which is to say that the runner after 21/14 is pretty darn safe.

There's also the hybrid play 21/18 11/7 to consider. Dare her to hit before she's ready. Sometimes volunteering an early hit is correct. Not sure about here.

I'm not sure which of the three is best but I'll Pottle this one. I don't think the eleven point will be that hard to clear and if we are forced to leave a blot there white might not even want to hit it.

21/14.
