Would I have seen this OtB? Probably not, my game needs some work there.

White has several awkward (direct and indirect shot leaving) rolls if Blue plays quietly. Secondarily (not as important), after 24/21 Blue is the one leaving a direct shot. Only {44,22,41} that I see make me wish I had anchored.

After playing 10/6 I'm not sure of the 3. 10/7 is certainly more diverse. How valuable is the 10-pt since it's often being demolished next turn anyway, sometimes leaving a direct shot in the process?

10/6, 10/7 (with an assist from QF)
