Tempo hit?

In Response To: Tempo hit? (Timothy Chow)

The classic tempo hit would be to step up to the 20 while hitting loose on the three. Normally stepping up into range of four builders would be asking for it, but the loose hit takes away half of white's roll, and if hit blue has a chance to anchor there.

But that's too loose for me. It will be interesting to see if it is correct, but I'll bring down two - that unstacks the midpoint and brings 12 checkers into the zone against two blots. That could be real trouble for white if she fails to anchor.
