In Response To: When to give up Midpoint (Max Levenstein)

The automatic part for me is 13/10(2) for blocking purposes. The midpoint isn't as important once we have 11pt. anyway.

With last 2 threes we can either make 3pt. or come under the gun to 18 or 15pt. I like the blot on the 18pt. better but the problem is we need to play the last three 6/3. I don't like the blot in our homeboard when we are going to exchange hits so this leaves 21/15 as the under-the-gun play.

I like the safe 13/10(2) 6/3(2) play more, since with the running 13/10(2) 21/15, the 15pt. blot isn't in direct range of our 22pt. anchor for retaliation purposes. After safe play the blot left on 21pt. isn't in much danger, as there are only 4 pointing numbers, and the loose hits aren't strong at all, since we have equal boards and opp has race lead he wouldn't want to spoil.

13/10(2) 6/3(2) for me.
