Position of the Day #2

Making the GP reduces contact in a position where blue is 20 pips behind in the race, but I think there's still enough contact that it's a viable option.

OTOH, making the 5-prime looks very strong, as white's runner is not at the edge. The problem with the priming play is that blue may lose timing if he can't leap out. I see many scenarios after making the 5-prime where blue gets hit several times trying to escape the runners while white remains stuck and her board crunches. But I also see many where blue crunches.

Making the GP gives blue mobility at the expense of giving white mobility.

I'll step up to the GP, but without much conviction. Then 13/10(2) seems the natural follow on. After that play I'm poised to hit loose.

23/20(2) 13/10(2)
