In Response To: 4pt versus bar point (Timothy Chow)

If containing white's back checker were the only consideration here then 11/7 would be best. White will 'pottle' next time if he gets a chance and the average pottle play is better for white with the bar open due to the 65. An advantage of making the 4pt is that it takes X from an inferior to superior inner board. This will be important for what may be an impending attack from O.
