In Response To: Another "5pt or safe?" position (Timothy Chow)

A potential practical advantage of playing 9/5 8/5 is that White's decision whether to hit with a 1 or a 2 is a tricky one and the opponent may make a mistake. Even if the bot slightly preferred 13/10 13/9, making the 5pt might be the right play in practice.
