There goes the timing

Arguments for keeping the 20pt:
1. When two opposing points are 6 pips apart the leader's wastage will be significantly greater than at any other opposing distance. In these scenarios, the leader may have to fiddle around with his/her structure or perhaps take greater risks to avoid comprimising it.
2. When one side has made their barpt, slotting into the "hole" or even making the 11pt threatens to freight train oncoming traffic or any posturing blot aiming to be an annoyance.
3. White has one point to many and will be looking to dismantle and release the flexibility locked in her position before blue threatens to consolidate his forward structure.
4. Lifting from the 20pt will activate 16 great rolls for white; some of which from the insidious 11pt.
5. For blue to maximise his chances of a shot, he must restrict white's movment for as long as possible; maintaining the 20pt offers maximum restriction.
6. Safe-guarding the 20pt accentuates the precarious nature of white's awkward and stripped position.
7. Blue's timing appears to be in the balance; white's outfield presence will surely buckle if she is unable to dismantle it safely. If she is successful however, blue's timing will be suspect for sure.
8. Blue's timing may already be suspect; all the reason for keeping hold of the 20pt, for a shot may come sooner than later.
I opt for 6/1(2), 13/8 9/4, for the arguments given above.
