Daily Quiz 11/24

In Response To: Daily Quiz 11/24 (Casper van der Tak)

I briefly thought about 24/23, 24/21 for the same reason I ultimately chose 6/3, 24/23 - it threatens slotting action in White's outfield. However, that 21 point is a likely contender for a White anchor, or even a brave slot if there's the added advantage of pointing on blue's head, so I rejected that play in favor of 24/23, 6/3.

Question for discussion - why is blue's 5 point so important here? White already has an anchor on blue's 4 point. A blue prime, while serving some effectiveness at corrupting white's home board feels like it will be short lived.

(I guess I better go re-read Stick's article on the 5-point...)
