Blue is SayLavee

Blue to play 52

I agree with Chuck. I’m playing z (reverse split) = 24/22, 13/8.

As Timothy points out, once you reject 8/1*, then the best 5 is to bring a checker down from the midpoint. For the 2, I was initially inclined to play another checker down, but then opted for lower risk.

My thought process was this:

White will attack. He has the better board, and has few options for priming or racing. That being the case, a blot on the 11pt becomes more of a target than a builder, more of a liability than an asset.

Of course, we all know my record on these problems. (Hint: hit and miss!)
