If i wasn't so lazy, i would have worked through "What's Your Game Plan?". There is a problem, where Mary want's to share a principle with her students:

"In the early game, if you have to choose between blah and vicious, go with vicious."

Problem # 65, p. 179. Making the barpoint was also a candidate.

		White is Player 2 score: 0 pip: 150 Unlimited Game Jacoby Beaver pip: 144 score: 0 Blue is Player 1
