You have got to be kidding me...

There are a couple of obvious blotless candidates, such as 16/10(2) or 11/5(2). The disadvantage is that they still leave Blue with the problem of clearing his back point in a stripped position. It might be worth leaving a blot now while White's board is still weak, for the sake of a more flexible position. If we're prepared to leave a blot then 8/5(2) makes the best point and duplicates White's 1's. Then we could try to blitz with 4/1*(2), or create a bunch of spares with 16/13(2), or start clearing the doubly blocked midpoint with 13/10(2). OTB I'd play the straightforward 16/13(2) though QF suggests that one of the other two plays is better.
