Running off the anchor just can't be right -- we are entering into an even race with inflexible stacked position and a lone straggler under attack. Bringing two down (which is the play Kit recommends) disconnects our position and does nothing to solve the problem of two towers. It does turn out to be correct at GS, though. So, by simple elimination we must unstack. (Once again, distribution of spares!) The ambitious 10/5 8/4 loses too many gammons to be correct for money, but is the correct play at DPM and GG. I'm not sure anybody would have found the correct play for money, it's so inhuman. Very difficult position.
