In Response To: My Late Game Blunder With 31 (Paul Weaver)

I think this is a good example of leaving blots in front of stripped points (when a blot must be left). Some intermediate / new open players asked me after an ABT event what was the most important thing they could learn. And this was my answer. Leave blots in front of stripped points. I'm guessing that if you move white's spare from the 20 to the midpoint and adjust white's other checkers to keep the count the same that 15-11 will become best.

Of course there are other considerations here. But, this is what catches my eye first.
