Be one with GNU my Young Padawan

I see three candidates worth considering:

8/5: classic backgame tactic -- strew blots in front of opp, trying to force him/her to hit while escaping;

7/5, 7/6: slots the 5-point without leaving the extra blot;

8/6, 8/7: no blots (or slots) but two good builders.

8/5 duplicates your own threes. That looks like a bad idea.

Clearing the 8-point makes White's 4-4 playable but giving up the 7-point means 4-4 is awkward. 3-3 isn't great with the closed barpoint, but 8/5(2) isn't so bad for White. That could be the clincher.

7/5, 7/6.
