I don’t mind getting hit anywhere. I have a block, the block has to be extended, to defend against - I would call it ‘massive’ – a backgame. I can extend on 5 and 9. 9 is already slotted. The man on 16 is a builder. 13/5 looks natural and superpure. If he hits, there is no massive. If not, there is a good chance to make a key point. Our position is already dilly enough. OtB and anyhow, I will force the issue with 13/5, regardless what the bot will say.

While 13/5 may be correct, it doesn't look natural or superpure to me. We already have a lot of checkers that have nowhere good to go but the 5pt, so having another checker barge in on that point seems antithematic to me. Owning the 5pt isn't going to do us much good for a long time.
