It looks like most everyone saw the correct play besides me. I was debating between the 2nd and 3rd plays. I really didn't want to strand my back checkers either, but was wondering how long I could really hold the midpoint for anyhow...plus it seemed rich to leave two blots on the 8 and 9 points. I was mostly shocked by how big an error the other plays were. I figured, even if the 5 point wasn't the best play, it couldn't be a blunder.
