In Response To: 66 at DMP (John O'Hagan)

I would play 24/18(2) 11/5 9/3*. At DMP we really want to race and prime if we can. So 24/18(2) feels mandatory to me. 9/3* also looks pretty clear. Then I bring another builder in for the front of the prime and clean up a blot with 11/5.

The alternatives I see involve attacking Black's checker on our 1pt. There are ways to do so that leave Black with fewer return shots than my play does. However, hitting on the 1pt feels like overreaching to me. Black's board is strong so aggressively stopping Black from anchoring seems too ambitious a goal.
