DQ: Hit on the midpoint then what?

In Response To: DQ: Hit on the midpoint then what? (leobueno)

After the hit, there are three ideas:

1) Bring one down from the midpoint

2) Safety the blot on the eight

3) Slot the four point

My take is that since we're starting a blitz, it's thematic to continue the idea, which means bringing a tenth checker into the zone. 8/5 takes a lot of steam out of the blitz and 7/4 gives white too many shakes to turn things around. Plus the midpoint is crying to be unstacked.

13/10 8/7* for me.

BTW, a "safe" play like 24/20 is leading with the chin - eleven in the zone means slotting the GP is just asking to be blitzed off the board.
