In Response To: Middle game 43 (Jeremy Bagai)

21, 20. To move the back checkers up, to prepare to run or to anchor and to connect with the outfield blot. To avoid having the two back checkers isolated and semiprimed back on the 22 and 23 points. What are the alternatives? Does 15/11 do anything good? It lets White use his 3's to hit with the blot instead of from the midpoint -- but that's bad. But the 15 point might be useful if Blue can bring another checker out to that point for a temporary outfield anchor. If for that reason Blue doesn't want to move from the 15, why play 7/4 (or 7/3), when instead Blue can connect all three backmost checkers with bar/21 23/20?
