In Response To: Novi Consolation Final -- Critical Juncture -- Position 2 -- Be Sure to Look at Position 1 First (Bill Riles)

Fear of leaving a dreaded shot in position 1 may yield fear to take without your 6 point in position 2.

That is why I don't compromise my board just to avoid shots.

This looks like a take still, but if blots make you nervous than you might pass this one.

Having a blot defending may seem like the dildonian defense, but if you don't break your 6 point you are trying to WIN when you get and hit your shot. Either play gives you a take, and though this position is a little less scary it is also a little less strong when you hit. There is always a trade-off.
