Scratch Your Head

6/5(2) 13/11 and hope my opponent doesn't notice? No?

My first instinct is to play 6/5(2) and look around for another couple of 1's. Since it is far from obvious how to play those two 1's, I'll go backa nd look at something besides 6/5(2).

11/8 (?) with 24/23 makes me sick, and 11/8 23/22 isn't much better. 11/8 6/5 is just obtuse, why slot and leave a direct shot when you can make the point and leave an idrect shot? Therefore 6/5(2) is indeed forced.

I am not a fan of 23/21 here since aside from coming under attack from three white points, those attacking numbers are all even numbers while white's escaping numbers are all odd numbers, not to mention that all 7's hit in the outfield.

I can't bring myself to play 8/7 here, nor 11/9 or 11/10. Therefore it is 8/6 or 24/22, and 8/6 takes away a builder for the 7pt, in effect making the 11pt blot close to having no upside but still lots of downside.

6/5(2) 24/22 therefore gets my vote, even though I leave the 24pt and the bots will hate that, but what else is there?

Hmmmm, looking for QF makes me see 6/5 as a possibility, combined with 23/22. That might be close, and a doubles partner hot to play it could convince me.
