No rollout has yet been posted for this position so below is an XGR+ eval as a stopgap. I'm annoyed that I didn't see 18/3 9/4, but I'm also surprised that after playing 18/13 18/8, XGR+ strongly prefers 8/3 over 9/4 for the last 5. Obviously 8/3 strengthens our own board and puts more pressure on White's blot, but I would have thought that picking up our 9pt blot was necessary in the face of White's four-point board.
