Nice problems Sebastiaan and Nack.

In the original position, I would hit 8/7* and then play 11/9. I hit because of the better board and the number of good rolls White has is left alone. I can afford to maximize chances to make a good point next (11/9) because of White's blot on the 3. If I get hit I will have many returns and a better board.

2. 8/7*/5. Now I don't have the returns anymore after getting hit, so I am cautious and hide the blot. Still hit because of the stronger board and White's builders.

3. 8/7* 13/11. Now I cannot hid the blot anymore, and with the 4 point instead of the 5 point our board is less strong, so we need to be a bit cautious (and we leave more shots after 11/9 compared to the original position). I still want to hit for the reasons mentioned. I am curious to see how big the shift is in the relative value of 13/11 and 11/9 after the hit between these two positions.

4. 13/11 21/20. Without a board advantage we need to be a bit more cautious. We gain less from the hit so let's make a good anchor and play from there.
