Gammon go: Attack or run?

In Response To: Gammon go: Attack or run? (Timothy Chow)

To win a gammon one needs to win the game a point worth remembering. Having forgotten the gammon go element I looked for the best winning play. Running to the 18 point looks scary but its not if one understands the play. Nine plays for white point 25%, 9 plays miss 25% eighteen plays hit loose 50%. Plenty of counter play for blue if hit with a blot and additional pressure on the 18 point to take advantage off. The outcome of this play I can imagine and perhaps understand, not so the gammon go play. Playing gammon go and initially weakening ones winning chances maybe not a good idea.
